Two posts in such a short span? Consider yourselves lucky! ohh and poppies.

Hello all,
Sam here. We took another sweet nature trip last week. Since the sweet smelling lady has been on a little vacay for spring break we've been doing all kinds of things to keep busy. Turns out we live right near the California State Poppy Preserve. Now for those of you who have been paying attention we've had some precipitation this year. Apparently more than most years and at just the right times. So, we're expecting a superb Poppy year. We decided to go and check it out the free way. There is actually a parking lot that costs $7 and there are no dogs allowed in that part of the place. This is where the beard and his extensive knowledge of all things Mojave comes in handy. All those hours he spends out in the middle of nowhere doing nothing finally paid off as far as I am concerned. He found a back way (free) and we got to come (hooray). It turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day. First the highlights.

Here's the sweet smelling lady being the foxy pregnant lady who still smells sweet but rocks the maternity wear like a hot mamma.



Here's a couple more and one of the beard.





Now for the obligatory shots that the beard continues to shoot every time we go anywhere. He acts like a nut sometimes with a camera. He crawls around on all fours, sticks in in my face, lays down, etc.... mama likes these though and she thinks some of them might make nice wall shots.







Till next time don't eat the poppies, TRUST ME.

-SAM

I'll definitely have to check out stonehenge. Did you know that VA has a "foamhenge"? A life size replica made out of foam? We should see it next Christmas we're all together.
