This morning I noticed that the first poppies of the season are in bloom.

I love these delicate flowers.

What are you grateful for today?

      Thank you! I would love some rain today…and some cool winds. How about I send you some warmer weather and sunshine, and you send me some rain? :)

    They are cute! I thank God this morning for another day, so grateful. Need to repair the broken waterline in the backyard again, it keeps bursting!

        Amen! It was a super easy fix, made easier by the sun heating the broken part being direct sunshine for some reason. It was easy to push the tubes together onto the plastic joiner. Let’s see how long it lasts this time! The system will run today…

      Thank you, I agree. They are my second favourite flower, right after my number one favourite – sunflower.
