Poppies Make Me Happy

My favorite plant that we have in our gardens is the poppy I planted the summer we moved in. I love the color of these flowers, I love the shape, I love the green fuzziness of the pods. I think I feel so attached to poppies partly because when I was a little girl, there was a huge field of them down the meadow from the little log cabin where we lived.

There were one or two poppies in our garden last week, but I looked out the window this morning as I was fixing my herbal tea and they had gone crazy overnight. Yay!

Last year I was traveling to Boston for work a lot, and there was one week where it became apparent that they needed me the following week, too. I flew all the way home to Colorado for a day and then back the next, to see my husband, sure, but also beacuse the poppies were blooming and I didn't want to miss them entirely. Ridiculous, I know, but that's how much I love poppies.

Hope everyone has a great week!
