Even though the astronomical beginning of summer is still a few days off, for me an important marker of the season is always the first day that the red poppies in our front garden suddenly bloom. ๐Ÿ™‚
@kentlew Love this. Ours here in Denver bloomed just two weeks ago and I also consider it the true start of summer.
@onpaperwings Youโ€™re at a higher altitude, but a lower latitude. Two weeks behind sounds about right. ๐Ÿ˜‰
