I haven't been here much. Been busy with life. It does slow one down every once in a while. We now have three great-grandchildren, and two of them are up North. Our little Ava keeps us young in heart. She is the only one close by. We get to see and spend a lot of time with her. She will be two yrs old next month, and is so smart. My children were never that smart.
I've had problems with my violets this past year, and have had to re-start about twenty of them. They had very tight centers. Not sure if it is a fertilizer problem or water problem.
Here is what I have blooming now. They are all first time bloomers.
