Our house is called "Foo." Mainly because we used a lot (and I mean A LOT) of expletives when we remodeled the inside of the house over the course of 2 years. So, we affectionately refer to it as "Foo" (you do the math as to the words that we used the most....)
Foo liked to fight us a lot while we were remodeling, however she did also come with some unexpected surprises. Mainly, the poppies. Every year right around Neil's birthday, these BRILLIANT poppies start to bloom. It is really my favorite thing about the house. Mainly because there is no maintenance with them, and they are so gorgeous.
I mean, they are so beautiful. And, the state flower for California (my home state!) is the California Poppy. While this poppy is not quite like the California poppy, I like having a little slice of home right in my backyard. The wood violet is Wisconsin's state flower, and while we do have some violets, they are not quite as brilliant as the poppies. Neil - maybe we need to plant more?
