WHEN VIOLETS MAKE A RETURN

 As soon as Valentines Day is
over, I seem to dream about
forest violets that begin to
pop up early in the springtime.


This seems like a lovely time to enjoy
the hope of spring with some violet
tea wares.



I started collecting violet 
cups and saucers many
years ago.  These are
all English.


And some other
English pieces....









After some warm days this week
we ended up with some snow.  I
am sure many of you have experienced
this before and found it puzzling.
Inside the house, we currently are
enjoying spring violets.




I hope you have
 a lovely
weekend.

A SURPRISE SNOWY DAY

 


This was our view out of our
kitchen this morning.  It was a
bit of a change and that is just
what weather is best known for
it seems.


 The day called for a refilling of
the finch feeders.




The pussy willow we had pruned back
late last summer is already getting
ready to bloom:


Is there anything 
more beautiful
than a bluebird?
