These are violets that grow wild in the field next to Ken and Bill's camp (it's really Bill's camp--Ken gave it to him several years ago, but we all think of it as Ken's). There used to be this huge patch of purple when the violets were more prolific, but they seem to have calmed down a lot and the patch is now much smaller. There was a small patch of the tiniest white violets next to these, but the flowers were so small I couldn't really get a good picture of them. Most people don't like violets in their lawns, they think of them as weeds. I can understand that, but we had fun with violets when we were little girls, tying them into chains and wearing them like jewelry. We did that with clover too. I think we did that with just about any kind of blossom we could find that we were allowed to pick.
