Between th...In Flanders Fields the the poppies blow<br />Between the crosses, row on row,<br /> That mark our place; and in the sky<br /> The larks, still bravely singing, fly<br />Scarce heard amid the guns below.<br /><br />We are the Dead. Short days ago<br />We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,<br /> Loved and were loved, and now we lie,<br /> In Flanders fields.<br /><br />Take up our quarrel with the foe:<br />To you from failing hands we throw<br /> The torch; be yours to hold it high.<br /> If ye break faith with us who die<br />We shall not sleep, though poppies grow<br /> In Flanders fields.<br /><br />2018 marked the centennial of WW1. In the US, it largely passed without notice. Those of us in the historical community used the opportunity to stimulate research into this era, as memory of it vanishes.Semilla_Danceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18169194863728019038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-52252732935099968572021-07-06T12:49:47.169-07:002021-07-06T12:49:47.169-07:00Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a poppy gr...Wow, I don't think I have ever seen a poppy growing, Ginny!

Thank you for following along, I appreciate that so much. You know, this orange Poppy is California's state flower. I see them all the time along the edges of the countryside. We aren't supposed to pick them though.
