El Paso Poppies


It's March.  Windy.  I'm always taken back to my El Paso days.  In March, the winds blow almost to the point of physical punishment.  If you have long hair, you're guaranteed for a face whipping!  No skirts allowed in March unless they're muy tight!  Scenic Drive and Transmountain Drive will surely be closed due to high winds once or twice in Marzo.  There's nothing like the desert Southwest.....

One of the things I miss most about March in El Paso is the poppies that enflame the Franklin mountains.  It seems to be contradictory to see these lush, rich flowers in bloom in the arid area of Texas. 

Right now, I'm dreamin' of looking out on the horizon and seeing what seems to be a mountain on fire.

Whoosh!
