Oh how you have made me wish even more for the first signs of these sweet delicate flowers!
The small knoll in my grandmother’s yard near the mailbox has always been an ocean of Violets ever since I can remember. My sister and I would gather these tiny delicate flowers to make posies as well to fill the tiny vases that would sit on the window sills and in the center of the table.

This year will be our first without our grandmother ~ sadly she passed away in December. Her mother ~ a proper English lady loved these flowers as well and happily her love of flowers has passed down to us through the generations.
Imagine my delight when I found these same lovely flowers growing here in my yard last year ~ the first time I have ever found them in the 11 years we have lived in our home!
Perhaps it was a sign ~ one meaning she will always be near!
Thank you so for sharing!
Regards,
~ Rebecca

What beautiful pictures….I love coming “here”! I enjoy your stories. I have never been to England but my father’s mother was English and even though she passed when I was only 6 all of my memories of her are so wonderful and coming here always makes me think of her. Thank you!
