Hunting for Violets
Not Yet
On a pleasant afternoon, Viola came with me to one of our favourite gardens. She is sitting on the spot where we usually find violets growing, but evidently not yet.

Snowdrop
She did find some waning clumps of Snowdrops…

Crocus
…a solitary crocus…
.

Scilla
…and little white Scilla…

Run!
…then it started to hail!
Viola ran inside!

Despite the hail, the narrative was greatly softened by the soft colors of the Spring flowers and Viola’s pretty sky blue shawl. The sneak peek of the heavy duty shoes were muted by their pretty color too.
Viola was particularly glad of her sturdy shoes, her bare feet would not have been happy in the mud and chill, not mention the sudden pelting hail!
sweet!!! I do love Viola’s pinny. What a lovely garden to visit with so many little blooms waiting to be admired.
She was hoping the pinafore would be encouraging for the spring flowers…it did work, sort of!
What a weather transition Viola experienced. My Goodness from viewing pretty spring flowers to getting pelleted with hail. She used her shawl to good use…I see that both human gals and wooden gals protect their hair above all.
It was a surprising day! Viola was especially worried that her pretty yellow violet would get flattened by the hail!
Viola it looks like the day started out lovely until the hail came down. Good thing you could cover your head. Hail hurts when it hits you.
Viola did get very damp, but at least she didn’t end up with a headache from being pounded by pellets of ice!
