The honeysuckle waits
For Summer and for heat
But violets in the chilly Spring
Make the turf so sweet.

Sweet Violets
The honeysuckle waits
For Summer and for heat
But violets in the chilly Spring
Make the turf so sweet.

That's a very nice, gentle touch after all that business in the stadium.
I feel a little better now.
We're still a good month away from our turf looking like this. Beautiful picture. And I love the bit of rhyme. Our children's choir is singing an anthem Easter Sunday of one of Christina Rosetti's texts: An Easter Carol. I didn't know anything about her (never realized she wrote In the Bleak Midwinter), so thanks for the link! I'm a little bit wiser now - at least until this latest info fades from my brain.
I adore violets. But they don't grow here :(
Thanks for the lovely photo!
