This is an African violet named Blueberry Sprite. Its normal blossom is a deep, deep purple with what is called a Geneva edge (white edge). I used a different fertilizer at one point in the pre-show blooming schedule, and I've had bizarre stuff happen to four of my six show hopefuls. Not sure yet what I will do with this one . . . if I take it show, it would have to be shown in the sport class - guess I'll wait and see . . .

The very first one of the season was YESTERDAY!! Yes, once again - twice this week - I managed to fall asleep not having taken a photo :-S This was taken on Thursday the 16th. Not much there yet - plants, like these Sweet Allysum, and honey, and the pickled beet man, but not much else yet.

Once in awhile I feel like this - like I can never put all of my life all together all at the same time . . . but only once in awhile :-)

This is my 500th photo in the 365 Project  :-) Wup Wup!!!

134:365 Missing . . .

I forgot to take a photo this day - this one was taken on Wednesday the 15th. The blue spruce trees in my yard are dying from the ground up. So is the juniper. I don't know what's wrong with them, and apparently, neither does the arborist . . . :-(

I wore my winter coat again today, but the restaurants all have their outdoor tables ready . . .

Really. We're serious. We've been lying here for months. You say we're "resting" in the living room. Could you just put your earplugs in, pick us up and PLAY? Dammit!
