Poppies

Most every spring the Mexican Poppies bloom on the Florida Mountains. How many poppies bloom depends on the spring weather and the winter rains. This year Nature gave us a yellow carpet running from the base of the mountains up as far as a wee bit of soil could be found between the rocks.

My friend Pauli took me to the less accessible east side of the Florida’s in her high clearance truck. It is hard to describe the beauty of the bright yellow flowers, with the contrast of the purple or orange occasional other wild flowers, and the clear blue sky. New Mexico is truly “The Land Of Enchantment” just like it says on our license plates.

Spring in the front garden

This morning it was so beautiful, when I went out for the paper that I came back outside in my bathrobe with my camera. The front garden had gone from brown sticks and mounds to beautiful blooms. I wanted to share it with my friends.

No matter how old you are spring is always a season of new beginnings. There can’t be a better time of the year, or my life to attempt a blog.
