Poppies

Poppies are blooming! I spent a lot of time outside this weekend, sprucing up the yard and admiring the flowers. 

We have a small flower bed (that could really use some more flowers) and the poppies are the main event. Every day more and more bloom.

I just love their bright bold color! The petals are paper thin and they only last a day or two. So brilliant to look at. 

Reminds me of one of my favorite paintings by Claude Monet, "Poppies Blooming".
