If I take the less direct way into town, I pass a small hill that is filled with poppies.  I don't ever remember seeing poppies here in Virginia anywhere other than this little stretch on the side of the road.  I love driving past them - they are, in all their delicate brightness, so cheerful.
Don't you love poppies?!

  2. I love in the south when they plant huge patches of them in the medians of highways. It makes a big difference in your outlook as you drive through.
