african violets......

ok, so with all of the mundane details about my existence i have somehow neglected to mention that my african violets are blooming.....at last the 2 pots that get regular sunlight.....and these blooms are special because they are proof that 1) i can keep a plant alive for months and even years 2) that i have thoughtfully chosen the appropriate window space for these plants.....3) they remind me so of my grandmother broughton's african violets that she kept in the special window shelves behind the white sheer curtains......north facing window.......my violets appear to do well with eastern exposure......go figure.......who knew that african violets bloom about the time pomegranites show up in the grocery store.....i mailed off a few to my middle child, along with poetry and protein bars and phish...must keep to the precision of the 'p' theme......
