Casey, I was wondering if those were Lupins. The only other places I've seen them were in Ushuaia, Argentina where the ships leave to go to Antarctica and the coldest part of Japan. Again, another hardy wildflower.

How sweet! DH had his 75th birthday on Friday, a bunch of us went to the 50's Diner for lunch, our older son came up from Kentucky and walked into the diner just as we were ordering, perfect timing! That's DH and I on the right, the boys aren't in the picture.

Ron, that is precious--both pics! Nicole, are those your very own lupines? Lovely! Jodi, did you risk getting hit on the head with a coconut? :-) Kat, love your money (plant)! LOL Casey, that's a stunning shot.

I threw a baby shower for our DD last weekend at her home for co-workers and friends in their area. I had found Kalie's 'Baby Bear' and washed him up and Mike mentioned that he has his from childhood, but he dragged his all over so he needed some TLC. I spent about a week fixing him up and giving him a much needed bath. We bought this little wagon and this was part of my decorations for the shower and now the kids have their Teddy's to show their kids! :)
