I’m going to be taking a short break, returning mid-week next week. Where has the month gone? I wanted to leave you with something beautiful and I think this shy violet, cast into the spotlight despite trying to hide, is the perfect thing. Enjoy!
In the spotlight

This, that and the other thing 
Thank you for the lovely violet, Janet. Have a good break.
My pleasure, Tish. I’ll be sharing the break with our two daughters and the fiancé of the older, so it will be fun.
Sounds lovely.
Enjoy your time away
I will, Pauline. I’m ready for the break.

Beautiful. See you later.
Thanks. 🙂

Relax and enjoy! (Such lovely colors and details in this violet – so different from my wild ones from the old woods that managed to come along to a hot coastal plain. )
Variety is the spice of plant life. 🙂 I shall enjoy. Thanks.

Drat! That second comment was supposed to go elsewhere. Please feel free to delete that and this. 🙂
Ok
Beautiful Janet! Enjoy your break! I’ve been really busy on my end with the end of the year for the kids, and doing a lot of behind the scenes work on my blog. So I have been quiet on my end but hope later on this summer I will be back in full swing! 🙂
Thanks, Nicole. There’s a season for everything and I know you’ll come back refreshed and with an excellent blog. Any chance you’ll make it to Chicago this summer?

Sorry for the late response! Life has been crazy. Wish we could go to Chicago. My husband has had some back issues so unfortunately he can’t travel for a bit. We really want to go and I’d love to meet you too! I will get there!
Hope his back is better soon!!
And this little charm deserves the spotlight. 😀
Evidently the sun thought so as well, Cee. I agree. 🙂

Lovely – thinking of us, as always, Janet. I wish you a relaxing and smooth week.
Thanks, A-C. I’m looking forward to the break and the time away.
Enjoy your break, Janet!
It is pretty! Have a lovely break, and be safe! xx
Thanks. 😘

We’ll be waiting, Janet.
Beautiful Janet – hope you’re enjoying your break wherever you are!
Thanks, Tina.
Nice photo! We don’t have flowers like that down here.
Glad you enjoyed it, Mark.

I love those shades of purple!
