violets

Keith bought me a couple of African violets for our anniversary last year. I killed one of them almost immediately. I kept this one alive for a year and a half, but couldn't for the life of me get it to bloom again. Until now! I must have it in just the right window or something, because it has blooms on top of blooms. It makes me so happy to see it blooming, especially since my boy gave this to me to celebrate our anniversary. And also because most things outside are frosty and dead these days.
(I like how my grandma is in the picture at the corner of this one--she would appreciate my blooming violet. If I have any sort of green thumb, a good bit of it comes from her!)
