Title: California Poppies & wildflowers on drive to Yosemite
Post by: Sassy on April 05, 2009, 02:52:11 PM
Well, everything else might be falling apart, but we drove to Yosemite last week and I've never seen such a gorgeous display of poppies & wildflowers.  Last summer we had the forest fires.  The fires bring out all the poppies & wildflowers that are covering the hills & mountainsides.  Unbelievable - millions of flowers!  We took Glenn's mom & sister from Oregon & a friend from Michigan who were all visiting last weekend.

Thanks Sassy!

Spring is finally here on Whidbey too. The trees are in bud, the daffodils are out and I saw three girls in sun dresses! ;)
