Poppy Patch In Stowe Vermont

A patch of poppy red - ascend plumed feet. The bright and sleepy tome - a fantasy. Fair abbey’s spark of Stowe, her mirthful beat. Austria’s grace, forth-cruised amidst the sea. The cherubim of flowers sweet - my smile. Awake, a-thrill with music’s score. The hills Resound in Vermont’s wind. Alive the wile Of snow-white lace, upon the crowning will Of God — the protector of faithful fate. The verve’s exotic blends and citrus scent Of garden’s bliss - the kiss of love not hate. A flash of sun - so live these ornaments. A photo lasts in time and bright of eye. This brand of brave - a charismatic sigh. 1/21/2019 To learn the fascinating story of the Von Trapp Family: https://www.trappfamily.com/von-trapp-story.htm

Thanks, Alexis! The musical draws us to the family then we search out the truth aside from the legendary tale!

Thank you, Silent! Indeed I had my family stop when I saw a patch of poppies and had them take a photo of me and my husband.
