The poppies



Did you know there is a field of poppies in Utah? Gorgeous orange poppies that aren't on private property. Hundreds of them. Last night I was looking at some photography blogs that inspire me and I saw some photos in poppy fields. I knew the photographer was based in Utah, so after some internet searching I found where they are. And I just had to go there. Tonight. Because they are only in bloom for a short time.
They were gorgeous, but I guess they are almost done blooming. I can't wait to see them next year in their prime. Next year I want family portraits there.
(I asked Ben to tell Jack a secret. Look at Jack's face. Later Ben told me that he told Jack that we would buy him a doughnut. Hmm, why the look on his face? I think that was the first time he experienced somebody whispering in his ear. It does feel weird. And, he was just ornery tonight.)

P.S. I almost forgot. Do you want to know where the poppy fields are? They are in Mantua. If you want more specific directions, let me know.
