| WOW — Cosmos! The first Cosmos to grow in our yard, as well as the first of the season. |
The online Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the word wow as "a striking success" when used as a noun and "to excite to enthusiastic admiration or approval" when used as a transitive verb. The noun has been around since the early 16th century while the verb usage was said to begin in the 1920s. Wow, huh?
Every day, I am wowed by the wow's happening on the once-the-front-lawn. Today's wows are all firsts on some sort.

| WOW—Pompom Poppy! Friend BB gave me seeds from her yard for the past three years. This was the first year for them to pop out for me. |
 |
| WOW—Sunflower! This is the first sunflower of the season. The Husband and I first saw it this morning. |

Hey ya, Ann. These poppies remind me of the shaggy hats from the 1960s. Something that Audry Hepburn would wear.
DeleteLook at all those gorgeous Wows. :)
