Sometimes when we are going full blast ahead and not paying a bit of attention to anything around us, something stunning catches our eyes and an old truth simply slaps us right in the face. It happened to me when I saw the poppies.
This article brought back memories for me too.
We were required to memorize the poem in school many years ago.
I also learned more about these poppies.
I did not know the seeds were so hardy as to contribute to the soil seed bank.
I sow some every year.
Wouldn't it be great if all our High ways had flowers growing along them,
as Lady Bird Johnson had tried to implement?
