As most of you know, I have been ill for 7 months. My violets have been through SO MUCH. I didn't give them much care, we MOVED to a new home, I stayed with my parents for 5 weeks and my hubby brought my plants AND huge stand (the violets had to live on one stand for a while) and I watered them with my mom's help. Hubby had to do the move alone.

They are in the new house in a room all their own now. Great space. My husband had to water them while I was at my parents again for two weeks. Got home last weekend.

A couple lost leaves at the bottom, but I am just amazed at how resiliant they are. Fred was helping me with them last night. Cleaning the shelves and rearranging them. I am so happy.

I have a new doctor for my Chronic Fatigue. I see her next week. I hope she can help me with that and other things like BP. The BP is much better with med.

ANYWAY, I just had to share how happy I am that my violets are happy and blooming like fools, even without my TLC!

I haven't taken photos in 7 months, but here is one from before my illness.
