"Welcome to Poppy World!"

For eight years, I have waited for the poppies.

I once saw a photo of the Organ Mountains surrounded by fields of yellow,

and I wanted to experience it for myself.

The conditions, however, never seemed to be exactly what those pretty little things needed to grow.

And, each spring came and went...with no flowers in the desert.

 But, we have them now. :-)

Beautiful yellow fields blanketing the mountainside.

Caleb had a cute reaction when we stepped out of the car.

With arms opened wide, he spun around and cried:

"Welcome to Poppy World!!!"

Thanks, Lord, for such a timely gift.
