Yesterday the littles and I got to go with Caleb's lovely mama on my annual birthday trip to the greenhouses to pick up new treasures for my garden. Going to a greenhouse is thrilling for me--the beauty! the possibilities! I love to pick perennials so I get to see my little growing friends next year, but there are always those special annuals I can't resist (moss roses, herbs).
Lookin' at the lily pond.
My buddy. Not feeling the greenhouse joy quite as much as Mama. ;)
Mom with my treasures!

We had a picnic lunch at a lovely park I'd never been to in the middle of downtown with beautiful gardens and a fountain. The kiddos sure enjoyed the fountain...and the good fruit Gramma brought!
Several attempts were made at climbing in, of course.

Then home again, home again for a wee bit of naptime and planting (my favorite part!)
This pincushion flower is so pretty. And it's perennial!
