Hello,
Leroy
came home and was quite excited to show me a violet that someone had brought to
the church to give away because they were downsizing. He took it knowing that I
would like it a lot. It is quite a large plant. I have had varying luck with
violets. Generally I say it is the place that they do not like rather than my
fault. I just love blaming something else.
I was
expressing concern about it living with someone else who might take better care.
Their advice was “just don’t worry about it, enjoy it while you have it. You are
giving it a home and that is what is needed at this moment.”
This violet
is in a special violet pot which I had never heard of before. Perhaps that is
why my violets sometimes had rather short lives. At least this one is still
alive and looks good after being in my house for a week. I take that as a sign
of hope for a longer relationship. I have taken several plants outside for the
summer, but only one large one. The back yard should be more shaded before that
happens. The walnut tree and the catalpa tree are just getting their leaves
now. In one more week it should be good.
I transferred
the pictures from the camera to the computer so I can share them with you. I did
not get rid of any of the geese pictures since I am sure that Leroy has a proprietorship
feeling about them. Perhaps you can just move quickly through them. Leroy was
trying to get a good picture of the difference of the baby geese’s sizes.
Two of
those pictures are of deer eating. It was fun to watch a goose head pop up from
time to time. Amazing what can be hiding in the grass. Is that true of all of
life? There are hidden things that we could enjoy if we just knew about them?
Here
is the link so you can see the pictures.
