Poppies, poppies, poppies ... and a greenhouse

First the wild ladies... all dressed in orange. California orange! I love California poppies. I mow around them. There are way too few of them these days. As I kid growing up in Southern California, I used to make a hollow in a field of them, to lay and dream while looking up at the blue sky. Those days are gone for California... but here on my little bit of earth in central California , there are still a few, and I try to give them a home.

And here are the tame ladies?
That seems so untrue!
They are far from tame.
These ladies are such a wild shade of orange,
that they seem very fancy and flamboyant.

Still... they are from the tame nursery.

My greenhouse is for tomatoes and basil. That's its only real job... other than providing a place for me to hang my chandelier and set my chair. When the air outside is a chilly 65, its a toasty 85 - 90 F inside. The perfect place to sit and read! I must move my chair out there tomorrow.
