It's Christmas time and although I'd love to try a buy nothing Christmas, it's just so much fun getting gifts for my 1 year old daughter. I've tried searching online for fun inexpensive gifts, but good ideas are hard to find. So here are my top five for toys that my daughter loves and don't cost a fortune.
1. Plastic bouncy ball about 8 or 10 inches in diameter. I believe it was $2 at our grocery store.
2. Bubbles. best $1 ever spent.
3. Rubber duck for the bath tub. Ours are toddler hand sized and squirt water.
4. Silk scarf - she loves to play peek a boo, wrap it around her, throw it in the air, pull it through a paper towel tube, etc.
5. Small wooden baskets with a handle. She puts stuff in them, prances around with them and then dumps it out.

What is this plant?
Fall is here and I'm trying to clean up my garden. The problem is I can't identify half the stuff and don't know if it was planted intentionally or not. Recognize these?

A long walk
Sunday afternoon, August 24. The engineer wanted to take a drive to scout out camping spots. We found many beautiful spots on an near the river. Due to the recent rains, there were plenty of mud puddles for hubby to drive through, splashing the entire car including the roof full of mud. So much that he stalled the car.
When I said that morning I wanted to go hiking, this was not exactly what I had in mind, but we ended up walking home with 2 dogs and a baby on hubby's shoulders. Beautiful day for walking, we saw all sorts of wildflowers, some of which had pods the size of my fist.
