Just....

...came in from picking flowers to press for the wedding invitations. OMG, grape hyacinth and pale violets all over the place. I didn't know we had that many grape hyacinth in the front yard, it's all over the place. And the pale lavendar violets are all over the back yard; I found ONE dark purple voilet plant and my heart literally leapt for a second...love that feeling; that small leap of felicity.

Gonna go press them now before they wilt. But when that's done I've got to post the story of me and mom and why violets are so special to me. I need to get that memory of mom down while it's welling up in my heart and mind.

And then I'll go practice bowed psaltry and bodhran.

If we still lived at our old place on Jefferson the yard is FULL of them. I don't know about this place.


Hhhmmmm..no one lives at the Jefferson place still. I may just raid that yard.

*LOL* I'm seriously thinking of going up to KC when they're blooming up there and raiding the communcal backyard of the duplex I used to live in!

Oh, I just remembered.

Did you see that thing on PBS a few years back about how certain bugs can see certain plants to polinate at night? It's weird, but some plants actualy flouresce under a blacklight. I'm gonna get out the blacklight bulb and take a walk through my moms garden just to see what I can see this weekend.

I've two people gathering the dark purple violets for me, so I think I'm going to be fine.

Thanks so much for offerring! Now, if by chance you're thinking about making some sort of viney arbor for your wedding...there we can talk. I have some ideas and it might be something on which we could collaborate and use for both weddings....
