A Walk in the Woods Where the White Violets Grow.....

On our farm we have several acres of wild woods. My husband has been working on a path that meanders through these woods and allows us to enjoy the many colors of each season. Today was one of those beautiful (almost Spring) days that drew us out to explore the woodland floor.

What do we see? "A white violet!!" They are easy to miss because they only stay around for a few days and then are gone!

As we look beyond our feet we spot the green and white carpet across the path! We scream, "More white violets!" This is reason to celebrate!!
As we walk further it is apparent their is a whirl of activity that is taking place in the woods. Birds are busy finding their place to build nests and preparing to lay their eggs! We wonder what next week will bring and what we will see changing.


Here is a web link to wildflowers and the "white violets" shown above.

I can't wait to walk in the woods again at the farm!

Have you named the trail, the woods and meadows, like Anne of Green Gables?

No names yet but when we do I'll be sure to let you know!! We want to put benches throughout the woods and have some little tables to sit by while sipping tea! Jim will sit on a log of course!
The lilie bog will soon bloom and that will be another celebration day!!

Thanks for sharing the Violets. Hey, if they're white, are they still called VIOLETs??

I thought about using The Green Year book cover for the photo but I didn't have time to do another photograph.

White violets!! I have not seen a white violet in years. Just as sweet as the purple ones. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures of my favorite flower.
