 California Poppy.

Growing wild in fields and along roadsides, this is the state Flower of California.

San Diego, California - 20.10.1962

Dear Pen,

     I'd tell you what we call these flowers if I could spell it, anyway it's not poppies!  I've seen plenty growing along the roadsides really good they look too.

     Love Nan

Dear Tim,

     Saw many cotton fields on my way here from San Mateo, watched the machines harvesting it and saw it being sucked up into the mill by enormous vaccum cleaner sort of gadget.

     love Nan

 Carrot Harvest

San Diego, California - 20.10.1962

Dear Merry,

     Lots and lots of carrots, yes? no?  Somehow, I never imagined carrots being harvested like this, or that carrots were harvested for that matter.

     Love Nan

Dear Nick,

     I hope you are not getting tired of my sending animal cards to you, I like them so much myself and can't help buying them.

     Love Nan
