Poppies!

I love poppies-they grow profusely in my garden and the red frilly flowers usually last one day, then blow away in the wind, leaving a poppy seed head on the stem. I usually leave the the seeds to dry a little, shake some seeds back into the garden, clean the leaves off the stems and hang them to dry in a bundle, enclosed in a paper bag (to catch the seeds). This year - I have collected at least 5 bundles - they are drying in the garage.
I will use them for floral arrangements and give some to my sister in law, who wants to use them in a wreath that she is putting together.
It is cloudy here today-I will be in the garden- pulling out lettuce which has bolted and doing a little weeding.
