Can You Spot The Real Boy?

Can you spot the real boy?  

He moved! Can you spot him now?

   Talon has been  posing with mannequins since age three.  Wonder if he will outgrow this behavior? Probably not as long as his parents keeping laughing.  And not as long as his mom continues to indulge in the silliness of posing with mannequins too.  Actually, I hope he never outgrows the silliness...

Vehicular Inflatable Fun at the Mall

Isn't this a cute inflatable bouncy slide?  Talon had lots of fun bouncing...

and punching and sliding with Lightning McQueen. 


 But his favorite was this monster truck slide. 

He had never seen one like this before. Very cool!

And a bit creepy! And very tall...

There is Talon way up in the tippy top.  Hallooo, Talon!

A Blanket of Buttercups

These buttercups bloomed overnight. Like magic! 

We spend a lot of time outdoors and  I'm very observant where nature is concerned but I still had to ask my little boy: Were these flowers here yesterday?  Just to confirm that I wasn't losing my mind and all powers of perception.    

Such pretty little flowers.  And they are small-- only about 1/2 inch in diameter.  I love the vibrant yellow and in person the blossoms gleam as if wet. Don't know how to make the sheen show up in a photo so please take my word for it-- the flowers look wet even on a dry day. Very unusual.

Now friends, if you run across a field of buttercups don't be tempted to weave flower wreaths.  Buttercups are toxic!  To livestock and humans. 

In humans, handling the plants can cause contact dermatitis.  I got an itchy little blister on my ankle from wading through these buttercups.  The lengths I'll go to... even endangering life and limb for your entertainment!

Buttercups are members of the the genus Ranunculus and you can learn more here.

Red In My Garden

These vibrant red cuties in my spring garden are Scarlet Globe radishes.  Very aptly named and very tasty too. What veggies are growing in your garden this week?
