Thank Goodness for Poppies

Crown Princess Genevieve and I had a major brawl today.  She was mad that I didn't want to continue playing "Hawaii" with her.  She punished me by sitting on the porch and wailing, "I'm all alone!  Nobody is here with me!  I'm scared and lonely!  Mommy, Mommy, Mommy..."  It was dreadful.  For both me and the neighbors I'm sure. 

Luckily she recovered from her fabricated abandonment and decided to paint,

 
 while I took photos of the garden and regained my cool.
