the Red Heart

I went on a plant identification walk with Tom & 44 wild sixth graders today. Here is Tom holding a bacholars button. I did not know that gentlemen would place this modest blue flower on their lapel to let the ladies know they are available.

Two nine hour days with the youngins. I forgot how inspiring yet exhausting it can be to hang out with pint sized balls of energy. They are in the hallway between children and and adults.
