We've been on the go so much, I wasn't motivated to plant flowers only to have them die when we went away for a week. And yes, I know it is Halloween but here in California you can get away with planting flowers year round. <br />It was so fun and therapeutic, handling the flowers and the soil, the kids all helped and we made a terrific mess and ended up with pots full of colorful flowers. There is just something wonderful about getting all dirty and feeling the earth between your fingers. Plus, I still vividly remember doing the same thing with my mom, and now I'm giving my kids the same kinds of happy memories.Ruthhttp://www.ruththemom.comnoreply@blogger.com
