These are Iceland poppies growing in Dusty's garden.

Every time we go to a nursery, Dusty gets to pick a plant of his very own, for his little garden. In addition to the poppies, his garden contains chives, violas, yarrow, red onions, columbines, and charentais melons. The melons are doing fabulous, and are flowering like crazy.

How many three year olds are lucky enough to get to eat melon that they picked out, planted, and grew all by themselves?

Well, I think he's a pretty lucky guy.

Actually, he won't be three until July 12th. I have NO idea what to get him for his birthday. We really don't do birthday parties for him - although that'll likely change when he's older. I think we might take him down to the childrens museum in Denver, then go over to his grandma's for birthday cake or something.
