Poppies

A wonderful day!

I've been watching the row of poppies growing in a band of gravel less than 6" wide by 6' long, just waiting to blip along the flowers. They are so short lived I wouldn't know how many out of the 100 I could get in flower at the same time. I went for it today when there were 20 out together, though not all are in the shot.

I had a very nice morning with the ladies at the church Homegroup, then this afternoon, even a visit to the dentist was good! 

Later in the afternoon I tried to wash the car. That wasn't so good. If I hadn't left the hose out ready for evening plant watering I needn't have admitted to The Man that I'd attempted to do it while he was out. "You should have used the hose." he said. "I did use the hose." I said, "I got it all wet: I just didn't get it all clean."

I looked at his car that he'd washed while I was out this morning, all bright and shiny. "I used the pressure washer." he explained. Now that is something I was NOT going to attempt. Not when I didn't want a cold shower. That would have really spoiled my day!
