"My breath would catch at the sight of violets, so common in the woods at home, so surprising in the mountains. The violets' message was 'Keep up your courage, stay true to what you believe in'." Jessica Stern

I love violets! I have some in my tattoo! They always grew wild around where I lived as a kid, even though I am pretty sure they are not native to Australia!
ReplyDeleteDear Victoria,
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing sweeter, than the scent of a wild violet. I often wonder how something so tiny can hold such a strong and beautiful scent.
Wishing you a peaceful week.

ReplyDeleteWe are richly blessed with wild violets -- the blue/purple mainly but some white ones, yellow ones, and lavender- brushed white ones as well. I love the quote! And I love your collection of Easter eggs!
ReplyDeleteTo add another magical dimension to your magical realm on your beloved mountain... the scent of wild violets.
ReplyDeleteHow truly lovely.
Thoughts of your wild mountain home makes me smile.
