Bud to blossom, black and white to color…what a wonderful journey, Brenda.

  Yes! Visiting the community garden with the plot of poppies has been heaps of fun. Regrettably the gardener has removed them … I hope with the intention to collect and save the seeds for next year.

this melted my heart Brenda but Hokusai said it better
“I write, erase, rewrite
Erase again, and then
A poppy blooms.”
