One of my kindergarten students gave me these tulips. Aren't they beautiful!! It sure brightened my day.
While I was taking this picture, I decided to take a picture of my mom's beautiful violets.
My mom's Grandma, Alice Yoakem, had violets and my mom got starts from her and started growing her own violets about 35 years ago. The plant above was started from one of my Great Grandma Yoakem's violets. I don't have much patience when it comes to growing things, but my mom sure has a knack for it.
