Hey, I have family up there and they've been telling me there's actually been some summer weather this year? Not to mention last year, which was hot??
I was supposed to be in Vancouver BC for a family wedding last weekend, sadly my feet have been too sore to travel, but the pictures do indeed show the shining yellow thing in the blue sky.
Btw, those Cal Poppies also grew great in the clay soil I had in Salt Lake. I heard you had some clay in your garden too, Rick??
