Thanks for sharing your "COVID-19 silliness" and the photos. I like that your mom wants photos of you in her gardening hat posing as a gardener for posterity! The poppies are lovely, although floppy. I'm used to the wild red poppies we have growing around here, which have small heads.

And my favourite - bonus cat pictures! Barnaby looking deceptively angelic and Tuppence being cute.

She said that she had to talk to me and that she wanted me to come over right now. I asked her if there was a problem and if I was the one who caused it. She said yes because she's evil. I honestly thought that maybe I had killed something in her garden. It turned out that she just wanted me to stand by the one flower bed to get a photo. *g* Considering how much she went on about the hat whenever I wore it, I shouldn't be surprised that she wanted at least one picture of me wearing it.

My mom said that the usual word is "pruning," not decapitation. I asked if "deadheading" was appropriate, and she said it was a better word than "decapitation".

:oD Pruning the heads, deadheading, cutting off the heads - all are pretty bloodthirsty!

Yes, it is pretty bloodthirsty, isn't it? *g*
