I don’t know much about poppies. I’ve never grown a poppy, and I’m really not
sure I’ve ever seen one growing. I know
the poppies in The Wizard of Oz
almost put Dorothy to sleep, and I know that opium somehow comes from poppies. Those aren’t very positive, but I recently
learned that poppies are a symbol for remembering fallen soldiers. That’s good
to know. I do think they’re beautiful flowers, but my favorite kind
is spelled a different way… My four (five soon) grandkids are so lucky to have
my Ron for their Pop-E. |

| Inspired by Sara’s single poppy, I submit my adventure in a field of roadside poppies. |

| As far back as I can remember, poppies have been one of my favourite flowers. It always stops me in my tracks to see a swath of them in a flower garden, and I think it would be marvelous to see a field of them. Of course, at this time of year they are a symbol of sacrifice, lest we forget. |
