Violets


The insect youth are on the wing,
Eager to taste the honied spring...

cultured veggies my son and I made  (I blogged about it HERE.)


a major Dale Chihuly installation at the Desert Botanical Garden in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, in 2009 (I blogged about it HERE.)

Thus ends my homework assignment on the letter "V."  Do go visit the other students.  Join in, too!  I'm linking up with my favorite teacher, Ms Jenny Matlock HERE!
