my best friend and I tried to make perfume out of milkweed flowers. We crushed them between rocks but couldn't figure out how to get the scent off the rocks. We were going to call it "Desert Rose" and wrote a theme song and everything. We even looked up "attar" in the dictionary!

Thanks for the memory!
