A couple of weeks ago we studied plants and gardening with a delightful little book called "Miss Rumphius" about a lady who wants to make the world a more beautiful place so she plants Lupines all over her town. Of course, we had to try our hand at gardening. Those who know me know this is not my thing, but the boys were very excited. I bought some lupine seeds and several other packets of wildflowers and cosmos, we dug up a flower bed, added some better soil and planted our seeds in hope! On the way to buy the supplies, Ian asked if he could take his $3 of allowance money a buy "some of those pretty yellow flowers." I just love boys! One moment they're wrestling or sword fighting, the next they're bringing you flowers. He proudly picked out these "mari-gol-rounds", as he called them, and we planted them "to give us some color while we wait for our other flowers to grow."
