Thistles and Milk Weed

Tabbi, Becca and I went out today to look for thistles for the Outdoor Challenge. We found some, but they were pretty far gone already. We did however get to pull what was left of the flowers apart and see the fluff.
We also found some Milkweed pods that were split open. The seeds were spilling out and the wind was taking them away. So silky, the girls liked the feel of the soft fluff.
