Determined

This little cutie is growing and blooming in a crack in the sidewalk. Himself would ban all violets from our yard if he had his way as they will spread everywhere but I insist on a few. Violets are one of the earliest flowers to bloom in the spring. Violets grow for little girls (and boys) to pick. When I was a child, we needed violets for the May baskets as usually that and dandelions were about the only thing blooming -- and you had to have a few flowers in the May baskets. And isn't it just a cheerful little indicator of Spring?
