We love our dogs. Maybe these articles (above) partially explain why.

These poppies mysteriously appeared in my front yard out by the road. I've always had a few in the back yard but they've been spindly and not prosperous. These three plants are amazing for their vigor and abundance of buds and blooms. It's a harsher climate in the front yard, perhaps more like where their ancestors are from. (As always, clicking on the photos enlarges them.)
