Monday Musings: The Inspiring Beauty of Poppies!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

As we walked to the restaurant on our way to dinner last evening, we noticed that the red poppies had begun to bloom in the vineyards of Burgundy. Ron took this picture.  

 

Through the dancing poppies stole a breeze, most softly lulling to my soul.  

John Keats

 

That we find a crystal or a poppy beautiful means that we are less alone, that we are more deeply inserted into existence than the course of a single life would lead us to believe.

John Berger

 

Wishing you all a great week!

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD Thank you for the good wishes, and we are in Lyon today, flying to Milan tomorrow...We are staying in a hilltop hotel that was a convent at one time.  It is in the historic section.  They have 19 rooms only. It is so charming, I know you and Bernie would love it.  From our room we can see the city below.  To get  down to the restaurant for dinner this evening, we have to walk down many steps.  We did a dress reshearsal and got in shape for the way up, so we think.  A

I love poppies.  They remind me of my childhood home which had an abundance of very large orange Oriental poppies in summer.

Myrl Jeffcoat I had no idea that those grew in California, I have always associated them with Spain, France and Italy...and you know what...they have California poppies galore in Burgundy!  I was stunned.  A

Morning Alexandra.

While we've dreamed of going across the pond, I don't see that happening.  So, we rely on you and Ron to show us what we're missing

Hi Ron and Alexandra- That red stands out beautifully. I read about the number of steps you had to take from your room to the restaurant! At least if you have dessert you know you'll walk it off.
