Still Sunday.

Very brief blog coming up. This has been a very good winter in our area for things coming up early. This morning ( fine bright morning it was, too) on coming out of church about noon, I saw on the grass near the church door small splashes of deep purple colour. On looking more closely I saw there were about a dozen or fifteen dog violets in full flower. Not the tiny scented sweet violets, but the big colourful dog violets that usually flower well after them, and normally much later than this. I'm not sure if dog violets is the correct name for them, but it is our country name. Nice cheerful sight it was. Several ladies coming out of church came to see what I was looking at, and we agreed it was a pretty sight and unusually early. Good night and God bless you.
