Violets

Finally managed to get out of the house for the first time this week.  Things 1 and 2 are both still off school, but #1 should be back tomorrow.  #2 had a relapse in the night, so can't go back until Friday.

Anyway, on my very brief walk to the butcher's I saw this little patch of violets growing on the roadside.  They looked very cheery, and put a definite spring in my step.  You used to be able to buy little posies of violets, but I haven't seen any in years.
