Milkweed


And the happiest of birthdays to my first born! I will spare him the sentimental memories and pictures, but I will say that he has always been a joy to us.

There's a lot of milkweed growing in the flower bed in front of our fire station, on purpose I think. No flowers yet.

Something that beautiful should not have the word 'weed' attached to it.

In the Netherlands, it is (or at least was, in my youth) the custom on someone's birthday to give flowers to the mother, not just a gift to the child. I see these flowers in the library yard as nature's gift to you on your son's birthday.
