Oh, I use to grow these violets in TX. Kind of a tradition... my aunt and grandmother grew these, too.
My house is empty today except for one child and a lovely quiet playmate, so for me.... rain, fire in the wood stove, baking bread, cooking some soup, reading blogs, silence! I love it! ( I hope to curl up with some books and catch up on reading today since Sunday will be extra busy this time!)
Beautiful! Will be a long while before we see any here. Got another 9 inches this weekend. Spent the weekend cross country skiing for the first time. I think I need a body cast..
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, 'I used everything you gave me.'" ~Erma Bombeck
11 Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. -1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
I am on a quest to learn as much as I can about God, life, growing food and sustaining our lives in a way that is healthy and less invasive to our environment.
