Hot parking lot!
Cart wheels veer too close for comfort
Poppies still grow.....

    Even in the photo the parking lot feels hot! Hope the driver of the cart is a little better at avoiding nature when driving a car!

    Nature abhors a vacuum, and will make something grow wherever she can. There are a lot of lessons in that.
