To pick a flower is so much more satisfying than just observing it, or photographing it ... So in later years, I have grown in my garden as many flowers as possible for children to pick.

Yesterday I put together my hanging baskets and planters in the front of the house. All of the things that mom & I picked out on Mothers Day worked together really well and for once I bought enough and didn't end up with holes and wishing I'd bought just "one more of those". Dakota helped me out a whole bunch and we had so much fun together that today I stopped and got him some flowers and a nice sized pot of his own to plant.
He was pretty excited to get started!
Scooping dirt is one of the best parts!
Poking your fingers into the dirt and making a hole for the flower is fun too!
Dakota planted lots of yellow Marigolds and blue Lobelia. He had a bunch of Lobelia starts left over so he made a second pot of just Lobelia. When it fills in it will be a big puff of blue!
Now we just need to do some work on that garden.....

Don't they look beautiful?

maybe i should have dakota come over and plant flowers at my house, now that he seems to be rather an expert! :)
