Delightful poem welcoming spring and a lovely photo. I love Johnny Jump Ups. They re-seed so happily and I am always glad to see them, even if it is just in your photo. Spring is still a few weeks away here, but we are seeing a few little signs.
The CDP community is filled with these tender little spring bouquets. Isn't it wonderful to see the snow recede? Do you think we'll still get a late snow storm?
this is wonderful and oh so beautiful. I have never seen a flower like this one. is it a violet? and is it growing outside? i think I see leaves on the ground.
And I was getting excited over our crocus..aren't you lucky!! I love violas/johnny jump-ups...they are so happy and you can't help but smile when you see one..as I am doing now. Thanks for sharing!!!
I had never heard of a Johnny Jump Up, Sunny, so I looked it up. It looks to me like a pansy---and the info I read said that it is a 'Wild Pansy".... Interesting, huh???? Cute little flower. Hugs, Betsy
From the shores of New England to the Oregon coast, I would like to share some of the places that I've been and things that I've seen.
As we travel you may notice; there is an emphasis on Massachusetts...my home state, you will see a lot of barns...that I love, whether old, new or dilapidated, we are not traveling in any particular direction, and we may visit some places more than once.
Please enjoy my American Photo Journey and your comments are welcomed!

The photo in the title...
features the Far Away Farm in Ashfield, Massachusetts.
I was born in my grandmother's old mill house in Cornwall, England and came to the USA with my parents in 1958. My Dad was in the RAF and as a child I lived in many different locations in England and even the Rock of Gibraltar.
Massachusetts has always been home in the US except for a brief period when I resided in Idaho, giving me a chance to explore the Great American West. For nearly 30 years I lived on Cape Cod before my husband and I moved back to the mountains* of Massachusetts with our Goldendoodle Lucy, and our cats, Lilly and Molly. I am also the mother of a grown son.
*Some of you would call them hills but they're mountains to me!

I love johnny jump ups! We are not quite into that yet...just the crocus here for us. But they do look pretty and cheery and hopeful don't you think.
My mother had johnny jump ups in her garden. I just have the wild violets here, which are similar, but it's not quite their time yet!
I wish that were true here. We got more snow last night and very cold temperatures. I am snot sure if there will be a spring this year.
I'm jumping for joy at the sight of this beautiful little johnny jump up, Sunny :) Spring is in the air!

I love spring flowers. I have them but they are now covered with snow. Hopefully, not for long.
Great picture.
