Don’t you just love wild poppies?
#SquareTops Say it with poppies! Where’s the link here? Maybe I’ll have to go for top drawer. I’m struggling this morning, but I could get lyrical about poppies. Meanwhile, Debbie says it with bluebells. Happy Six Word Saturday!
Maybe “top of the pops” 🤔 love them Jo. Of course poppies will be everywhere here on Saturday as it is Anzac Day with poppies as the emblem. No Dawn parades and bbq”s this year. But everyone is being encouraged to stand in their drives at Dawn to remember all our brave souls, and sing the national anthem. I think a lot of people will be doing that.

I love poppies, Jo. We have the wild orange California poppies everywhere. But I do have some of these Icelandic poppies in a planter on my backyard deck growing like crazy!

I don’t mind grey days; it’s like I’m being given permission to stay home and do projects here. But after a while I do long for some sunshine. I definitely prefer NZ weather to England’s in that regard,

Those brightened my day a great deal Jo. We had some snowflakes dropping this morning. The poppies there would shiver at the thought.

They would, Sue, and me along with them. 🙂 🙂 Thanks for the gentle reminder- I need to pop along and read your COVID post this week.

Yes! It’s nice there right now. I actually just said to Mark today, as we walked our dog, that I’d never thought I’d say that the weather in Belgium at this moment is better than where I am. A rare case. 🙂

Our prolific daisies and poppies are a result of all the rain, Poppy. Not a bad result! 🙂 🙂 Oooh, I just realised- your namesake!

Guess I shall miss the poppy fields this year unless things change by June, but I have last year’s memories to keep me happy. And I love those daisies keeping your poppies company. I wonder if Becky knows the name?
