My Treat

I had to get milk tonight after choir.  I would get it at Walmart since it's close to the church.  I knew all day that if they still had what I'd seen when I was there last week, I would get it for my own treat.

I went first to the place where I'd seen it among all the display of African violets at the front of the store.  It's a medium red-purple violet with a ruffled lavendar fringe.  I don't need another violet.  I have violets to give away!  But I have mostly dark blue violets, a few white ones and even fewer pink ones.  After I got home and thought about it, I decided that I could make room for this one more violet and if it was there the next time I went, I'd buy it.

I saw three of these violets left tonight.  I bought one.  I think it's an extended-birthday present for myself. 

Next time I go, I'll look for some spring bulbs to tuck into the yard somewhere.  Flowers are such delightful treats!
