Carla Jandelle...
many years ago i used to live in a city that planted red poppies all along the road ways….they called it ‘Painting the Town Red’....it was fun to watch people pull over to the side of the road and take pictures or see a big beefy trucker guy taking an armfull and putting them in a jar of water for someone special….this is beautiful…brings back great memories!
