Born and raised in the States, these are some of my thoughts on having lived in post-Saddam Baghdad from 2003-2006. I currently reside in the US of A.

The Last of the Honeysuckles
One of my favorite signs of spring; something I've missed for the last four years. Walking outside on a beautiful spring day, looking at the majestly green trees bordering against the blue, blue sky and getting a whiff of those beautiful smelling honeysuckles.
