A memory from my painting trip to Giverney, France.  This is a Gift shop across the street

from Monet's Gardens.  I bought some poppy seeds here thinking I was going to grow the

same huge poppies that were blooming in Monet's garden.  I did have tiny poppies grow

where I did not plant them....in the kennel!
