Jump for joy, Johnny,
jump for joy –
your days are numbered,
come-lately boy.
The frost approaches,
so seize the day,
and count each moment
before it fades.

These tiny violets spring up in cool weather during the spring and fall. We call them ‘Johnny-jump-ups’!

Haai.. like this picture.. 🙂 would you like to visit my site? I know it’s in Indonesian but i’ll so glad if you would.. Thanks before.. 🙂
Hello! I will try to check it out today… Nice to meet you! 🙂
okay 🙂 nice to meet you too.. 🙂
My great aunt gave me some of these, she called them 5 o’clocks. I love them, and get lots of compliments on them.
It is so sweet how they bloom in the cooler in-between times when the garden is otherwise not at its best. I always appreciate their tenacity! 🙂
We get them here, too. My daughters love to go through the yard and pick bouquets of them. Although, we had our 1st frost, so I don’t know how much longer they’ll be around!
We have had a few nights in a row now with frost – so that’s it, I’m afraid, for the season. Time to find things of beauty in places other than the garden!
A pleasure to see you Johnny! 😉
I like this–a fun poem! And thank you for telling me that they’re violets! God bless you–love, Caddo
Hey – I can be fun. When forced…
“Forced fun”…yeah, I think I had to do that in my earlier “other” life. Glad the memories are pretty fuzzy, now.
🙂 For-real fun is by far the better, eh?
WAY “eh”!!
Beautiful images: written and photographic.
Thank you very much! 🙂
