Flower Power

By Grandmom's house, are these beautiful Poppies. They shimmered and shined so powerfully my camera couldn't capture them clearly!

Across the street, at Grandmom's, these poppies, a minute's walk away, these were beginning to close for the night. The shadows hadn't come upon them yet, but they knew the evening dark and cold was coming- so they were closing before the flowers just across the road.

See, those yellow Poppies across the road are the ones in the first photo above.

This is Jasmine on our patio. And some chimes my sister gave me about twenty years ago. I brought them back from Japan to California again to have to enjoy the sound of them in the breeze. Another friend doctored the chimes, restrung them and they are as good as new.

Ahhhh Jasmine...in my mind Jasmine=California...well Eucalyptus=California too...oh, and snails=California too!
