These should help with the winter blues

It's cold.  All of a sudden.  A week and a half ago, it was 80 degrees. Now it's barely 40 and has rained for 2 days straight.  It's not even December yet and the winter blues begin!  I hate the winter when we don't see the sun for months and I'm just cold all. the. time! 

So I dug up some pictures that I took in my garden this past spring.  I had just planted these poppies and the colors are so stunning and the frilly petals are so delicate.  One of my all time favorite flowers! 

I hope they come back next spring.  But if they don't, at least I have some pics of them in all their brilliance!
