Seeing this lovely violet patch blooming reminded me that I had been wanting to gather a few. Many years ago I had candied some to decorate a cake for my beloved mom.
In life there are many things that remind us of those we love. It may be a scent, a sound, or even a certain way the light falls that transports us back to a good memory.
For me violets are one of those special reminders.
They may be small but they call to the child in me.
The pleasure of picking a few for a bouquet and giving them to someone special never fails to make me smile.
In memory of Mom I chose to bake a batch of lemon cookies and decorate them with sugared violets.
Is there something special that brings you a good reminder? Hope you will share.
Have a lovely start to May.
Hugs
Debbie
