Flower love

We planted chocolate mint and freesia today. The chocolate mint (repotting, really, Lex and I bought the plants already growing at the Home Depot!) went into an old pot of dirt that had something else growing in it last year. I don’t remember what. For the freesia bulbs I dumped a bag of manure on the wood mulch where our tree came down last year. Then we tucked the little bulbs right in and poured a bottle of water on top. I’m a top-notch expert gardener, have you noticed?

Garden girl

Lex and I packed up and started to move on to something else. Eve sat there for awhile, patting the dirt. Then she said, “Aww… I love these flowers. [brief pause, more patting] I want to hug the cow poop.” How can you not laugh at that girl!?!

Moring hair salon

Eve’s Hair Salon was open this morning with one extremely patient patron.

Stylist Eve, hard at work.

Later, while Rosy showered and de-barretted her hair, Eve let me take a turn at it.

This is how I wanted to do it. I think the braids coming together with flower clips is adorable.

This is what Eve thought of my idea.

She wanted the three braids left apart. Since it's her hair I decided to let her make this decision. Aren't I a generous mom?! :)
