A glimmer of hope in the form of a Poppy...
A difficult day for me today and I expect many others too, the first Fathers day without my Dad, Mam is coming for her dinner and then we are going to the Cemetery to visit Dad, I bought some flowers yesterday ready to take along.
Now for the glimmer of hope.... This morning a Poppy has appeared in my garden, the colour of this Poppy is the colour of the flowers I have bought for my Dad.
We also have a gardener coming today to sort out the garden as at the moment it is weed ridden and full of overgrown plants that need to be sorted out, of course he will be instructed to leave this beautiful poppy alone.

Oh what a beauty and amazing it is the same colour as your flowers
Guess Dad is thinking of you too. :0)
Another beauty Jak. Thinking of you today. Love Jeanx
I know how you feel Jak, mothers day was a killer for me too. THe firsts are the worst I think. THe poppy is the most beautiful colour and you were concerned the other week you weren't going to be able to grow them. There's a message there for you I'm sure.
Thinking of you today.

Hi Jak. Hope you are getting through the day ok. This poppy was definitely a message fom your Dad. This is my 5th Father's Day without my Dad and little things happen which make you think they are never too far away.
Take care!

Stunning Poppy. Am sure it was your dad's way of letting you know he is still around.
Wow Jak, what a beauty that Poppy is and like Linda i am sure it's a message from your dad to say he's around. Thank you for showing the picture, it's gorgeous.

When the petals have gone from the poppy and it starts to dry out a bit, take the seed head and you will have lots more seeds to grow more, its too beautiful to waste, though it would self seed on its own but I think you like to know where they are going to be, but I love finding something come up in my garden that I didnt plant.....or at least dont remember doing so, its like a bit of sunshine in a winters day xxx
