Pouting Poppies

Victoria recently caught a shot of Poppy in one of her not-so-bright moments. As sweet as Poppy can be, she can also have her wilting spirit cast a dark cloud of despair all around. We usually sternly counsel her on these occasions while at the same time murmuring tones of silent laughter under our breath because she's so deliberate with her affect and revealing of her desired outcome. Yes, this colorful flower that brings such vibrant sunshine into all of our lives can pout up a blithering balm that makes everyone step back in wonder at the swift change of seasons. The good news is that the weather only remains inclement for short periods of time, and before you know it the sun is shining again and the flowers are blooming all around. I guess we need the wind and the rain to appreciate the warmth and the glow of spring flowers.

Enjoying all seasons,

Tom (& Victoria)
