Caring for violets and two lovely blogs

Sierra and Audrey keep me company while I water some flowers.

The wheels are turning

I bought myself a new African Violet today.

 I have others that once belonged to my mom but this one looked too pretty to pass up. I love the white blossoms with the touch of violet.  And, lots of new buds to open.

My mom loved all flowers but her favorite were her violets. She took wonderful care of them. Our window-sills were covered in their colourful splendor.
But, the apple did fall far from the tree as I do not have a green thumb to speak of. Mom's violets, that now live with me, look a little bedraggled.
I dropped over to  http://linda-keaveney.blogspot.ca/ because Linda loves her flowers and cares for them with such love. She sent me off to read some of her past posts on Violet care and it was all very helpful. Have you met Linda yet? You should drop over and say Hi. Her blog is lots of fun to follow. She has loads of interests and with great humour will share them with you.

Another of my favorite blogs is Rosemary's Sampler. I'm going to send you over to read a very inspirational post (Jan. 14). Take a moment to find out how 91 year old Grace lives her life.
