The night smells so great

I love it. I'm a night owl and I don't like the sun but, my god, the night right now is gorgeous. It's warm enough to sit out in a t shirt and every flower and bush in my garden is giving off fragrance.

I don't know if it's the time of year or the heat but it's absolutely glorious tonight. I love moon bathing 🌙🌸

Anyone else?

One of our local country park does organised bat walks but they might be in the autumn when dusk is earlier. I'm looking forward to the full moon in a couple of days, it's already getting pretty big.

Sorry for those that are getting mozzie attacks. Nature eh? Gives with one hand, takes away with the other.

I’m looking forward to the full moon too. Fingers crossed for clear skies.

I'm very much a night owl, the smells are really different at nighttime! In this heat I've been walking my dog around midnight, and we are loving it! I don't know if he's smelling anything different, but he's really been on sniff fests at night. There is one garden we walk past and the scent of honeysuckle is glorious!

No because they are resurfacing our street and new tarmac absolutely stinks! But hopefully the air will be sweeter soon. I have my back door open all day anyway.

I’m loving some evening garden time too.
magical.

But I’ve been getting bitten by mosquitoes- need to get some coils to burn. not sure where they are coming from but they are quite chunky.

I’ve been here 8 years and can’t recall mosquitos before.

Oh wow, imagine what it's like to be a dog with their super smelling snouts!

I do actually have an unusually strong sense of smell, probably to make up for my short sighted vision, so I did wonder if it was just me. DH can smell the wafts of perfume but he has to walk around sniffing, whereas they just envelop me 😂
