Fragrant Front Door

This last week our garage door has really been coming apart. The spring broke and the screws have been dropping out. Luckily for us, I live with a very handyman and he has been able to fix it so for now we do not need to get a new one. But we realized how many times we open the garage doors in a day...no wonder they are falling apart! I don't think that we ever use our front door. Now of course when our cars are parked in the garage we have to open them but I don't think that the boys even know we have a front door. Everytime they leave the house or come back in they use the garage doors. Play basketball out front......open the garage doors, take out the trash...go out the garage doors, go get the paper....open the garage doors, it really is ridiculous! So now we have introduced the boys to the front door and we are all going to try to use the garage doors less so that they might last us a little longer. So first we need to get them keys to the house instead of using the code for the garage door to let themselves in. It actually has been an eye opening change. I am now finding flyers that are put on the door the day that they are put on, finding packages that have been delivered on the day that they have been delivered and it has made me take notice of my planters in the front that I have been neglecting. But one huge plus from using the front door is the wonderful aroma! I find myself lingering at the doorway just so I can take in the nice smelling fragrance. What makes our front door smell so well? It is the wonderful jasmine that we have on our side gate! It smells divine! So if you want to smell the wonderful smell of spring just come and linger at our front door!
