like many blossomy things, including our peach tree, the violets have bloomed about a month early which is far too early for these parts and i suspect they’ll quickly succumb to an upcoming cold night before i get a chance to harvest.

which all means once again another year has passed without making violet syrup.

i think this might mark the sixth year of almost making the syrup. at this point, maybe i should just wait until an even decade passes.
