White Rain and Sunshine

It's wet outside and quiet because our rain is white-as in snow!
It most likely won't hurt my bits of sunshine.
Out on the plains where it's windy, my early blooming plants must be sturdy.
Even though some are shy and peek out at the world.
May your day be full of quiet delights and lots of sunshine.

Lavendar and Purple

On the way in the house I saw something blooming and found my Corsican Violet. It was windy so I pinched it off and brought it in the house to enjoy. There will be more very soon.
It is nestled in among some rocks and I'm hoping there will be some new plants from last summer's seeds.
I'm also loving my miniature iris. They started blooming on April 1 - always early!
They are only about 3 inches tall.
Today's flowers are also the colors Alex and Sarah are having for their wedding. We seem to be collecting things each time we go shopping. Ribbons, cupcake papers, program papers, punches, embossing ink and powder, etc. I'll not be seeing my table top for a long while!
