We are expecting some hard weather, in the Deep South, today. Gulf ball sized hail would tear this Poppy to ribbons. I thought it would be a bit gentler to SNIP the stem, then put FIRE under its tush & then PLUNGE it into cold water. It is on my kitchen table, dazzling–to make up for the sun’s absence today.

Tension? I thought it looked so gentle with the drops suspend on the unshaven legs…i mean, stems of the Poppy. 🙂 Thank you so much, John.
