Loving Linden

I’m not one for favourites. There’s room for a lot in my heart. But the Linden tree is one of those beings whose gifts seem endless and I’m always over joyed to bump into them.

As I write this, the leaves grow larger but still retain that softness which makes them so palatable in a salad and ideal for wrapping food in. As you read this, I imagine the delicate yellow flowers hanging down, their intoxicating honey smell floating on the breeze, and the insects wild for the nectar.
