“Roses are red,
Violet are purple . . .”
How does the rest of that verse go? Maybe, “Everyone knows I love maple syruple.” Can anyone lend a line?
I’ve been watching for them. Sunday I found them.
There were lots of these little beauties dancing upon the greensward
My searching eyes were rewarded with the sight of these violets. Does anyone out there remember the old-time radio program “Mr Keene, Tracer of Lost Persons?” His theme song was, “Someday I’ll Find You.” Next on my “To Find” list are the grape hyacinths that grow on the lawn.
Sylvia Update
Sylvia continues to do well. The broken wrist is doing fine as it heals. She only suffers from the restrictions that are imposed on her activities. I’m having to learn to get out of her way and let her do what she wants to do.
Together, we’ve worked out how to do some tasks that neither one of us can do alone. We usually ending up smiling and laughing . . . a lot.
With her dad this week, she has planned well and had meals for a week all set to go when she left here. That woman is amazing. :awe:
She does sound amazing. Glad to hear all is well with her wrist! Speedy healing!
I love all those little “unplanned” treasures that pop up in the yard. Except for dandelions. Every year, I threaten to put a bag of weed and feed on the neighbor’s porch. :no:
Glad to hear Sylvia is doing so well and working around the cast. She IS amazing!
You can get a lot of good food from the dandelion. We fry the blossoms and the early greens are good in a salad. My dad had a neighbor that made dandelion wine, and that was better than excellent. :woot:
I’m partial to beautiful little blooms, especially grape hyacinths.
So glad Sylvia is doing well. Broken bones are a pain – in more than one way. : )
Thanks, Vee. Sylvia has been fortunate in that she hasn’t had any pain to speak of from the broken radius bone. It did hurt like crazy until the ER doctor reset the bone. She had to urge him to “pull harder.” The relief came immediately once the bone was back in place. The doctor said to his assistant, “That is one tough lady.” It pays to keep one’s self in good shape.
