BLOOM!

I'm writing this instead of doing my taxes.
I'm pretending I don't have to do them. La la la la la.

Last Wednesday, I skipped work and went north to the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve with Anita and Nancy.
It was INTENSE!

Nancy and Anita -- it was the first visit for both of them.

Like my "hiking boots"? I had to tie down my hat with my scarf -- it was so windy!

Anita and Nancy -- strike a pose, girls!

Selfies are hard work.

Anita and Nancy with Bob, a volunteer at the Reserve.
He told us many interesting facts. I don't remember any.

This was only the start of our adventure.
More later!

Linking with Patti's Visible Monday nope, she's on vacation. Lucky! She's back!

FTF: Spring

Spring for me:
The scent of Night Jasmine wafting in the evening breeze
Daylight Savings starts
Wildflowers blooming

The California Poppy is one of my favorites. They always bring a smile to my face when I see them. Ah, that orange color!
Deborah, David and I took a pilgrimage to the CA Poppy Reserve in northern LA County on Wednesday. None of us had ever been (shame on us!). What a magical place.

I wore poppy colors
