This dear post tugs at my heart, Rachel! I always loved violets and when I was a little girl I would pick them for my mother, tenderly carrying them to her. She would make such a fuss and put them into a little silver and glass vase my grandmother had had. The little vase is now in my livingroom, Mom is with the angels, and so today, I will go out and pick a little bouquet for sweet remembrance : ) Love and hugs, Sherry xxx
Oh I just love them...ours are not out yet..but soon they will be. They always remind me of times many years ago (maybe 60). I found an old vase at my parents home after Mom passed away years ago..the minute I saw it..memories of violets came flooding into my mind. When I was little I would go out and pick them and fill that little vase with them for my Mother...smile...
Wish you and Paul could be here tonight for our celebration of Sue's birthday and our other friend Sue's birthday too. Joe and Sue, Ellis and Susie, Bruce, Jeff and me. Just a small party, but perfect. We will probably move outdoors and eat at the big farmtable. It is a beautiful, warm day and outside is where we should eat.
I just returned from Kentucky and pictured a lovely platter of asparagus sprinkled with those first spring violets. It was great.
Thinking of you. We will take some photos tonight and I'll send them along.
indeed it is. love violets, they have a special place in my heart :o)
