Johnny Jump Ups is a much cuter name for Tri-Color Violas."My dearest Kate - You are not only a hypocrite. You are also an annoying Pollyanna.* I hate the snow and I hate you, too."
~ much love Ellen
Some say it takes a big person to admit they are wrong. I believe it just requires an inbox full of 'you idiot' emails.Which is what I came home to yesterday afternoon. Had no idea I'd piss off so many people by blogging about how I don't mind the snow.
"Did you even bother to look at the weather report? It's not 'temporary."
So, okay! I'll admit it! I am not that thrilled about a new foot of snow! I thought it was going to melt away in an hour or two. I thought the moisture might inspire the Daffodils to bloom. Instead it's freezing cold this a.m. and the snow is here to stay.
On the upside, the little packet of Viola seeds I planted 2 months ago are blissfully pretending it's spring. (Indoors)
This one's for you, E:
I've got a major soft spot for little Johnny Jump Ups. Always billed as full sun annuals, they're secretly zone 4 perennials who flower ecstatically indoors and out.* Pollyanna was the inventor of the Glad Game. Give it a try. It's infinitely more productive than sending me hate mail! :D
