The Time of the May Flower is Here

It is Spring in the forests of my childhood.  The delicate purple May Flower carpets the forest floor, along with the yellow violets we call Johnny Jump Ups.  I look forward to their arrival every year. 

There has been so much rain of late, thick moss covers the trees with green and the licorice fern thrives.  I love walking through these woodlands, where the creek runs swiftly through the canyon.  Remembering the days of my childhood--I believe I was blessed to have grown up roaming with such freedom in a place of so much beauty.

Purple Beauty

These purple beauties bloom in Fall.  I love to see their vibrant colors bouncing in the breezes which frequent my garden.

And, because of that luscious color, I get a bit homesick for Spring, though these are some of the flowers of Fall.

Have a lovely weekend, dear Friends!
