Violas and Sweet Berries
The world is beginning to come alive again with the birth of new growth and Springtime activities. I love seeing these little violas pop up and scatter themselves cheerfully throughout my flowerbeds in early Spring. They remind me of children at play; carefree and joyful as they dance about in nature. Their cheerful presence makes me smile and dream of summer’s lushness to come.
With warmer weather come delectable treats from nature. Fresh produce from gardens and outdoor markets are always such a treat. Once barbecued, these tiny tomatoes were a sweet and juicy addition to our meal. Although this little tomato did not come from my garden, I smiled at the thought of our future garden.
Hoping you get to experience some of the small pleasures of Spring or whatever season you are experiencing at present. Noticing small gems in our life bring about quiet daily pleasures.
Warmly,
Debbie

Even though it’s tiny, that tomato looks so sweet and juicy. I just started my tomato plans from seeds indoors. Makes me look so forward to fresh salsa with cilantro come July/August! And, I agree, the viola’s are so cheerful looking. We have really tiny ones, called Johnny Jump Ups, and sometimes they are called Monkey Faces – which always makes me laugh. Is that what you call them in Nova Scotia too?
Your paintings always inspire me. Thank you!!
