Canola

When we were in Korea, the roadsides were all abloom with canola, a beautiful bright yellow plant. Canola is a type of rapeseed and it's name comes from CANadian Oil, Low Acid (thank you, wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canola). It's blooming in Oregon now and everytime I drive by a patch, I think of Korea. It was everywhere, usually in front of beautiful stone walls. The canola here is spotty, with the exception of cultivated fields of it, and no stone walls or palm trees to be seen. Not to mention, no Elizabeth in the the canola here. She'll be here in less than three months, though. Miss you, canola girl!
