“The earth laughs in flowers.”
– Ralph Waldo Emerson
Terribly busy at the moment, but massive Friday Links post headed your way tomorrow and in the meantime, the time honored tradition of flowers as an apology. These from one of the parks near my house. Do poppies earn me forgiveness for neglect?

Lovely! I love poppies. If only they were better cut flowers. Happy (belated) Birthday!
I love them too and wish they lasted cut, but I also sort of love that they have to stay wild in some ways. To me they’re almost more pretty since we best enjoy them wild. And thank you!
