My garden

My garden is already underway this year. Last year (my first year I had a garden) I bought only plants and put them straight into my beds outside. This time I bought fancy heirloom seeds and am starting them inside. This snow has me worried that I started them too early. But we'll see. They still have time to hang out inside. So far I've started a few types of tomatoes and a few types of peppers.

"They just handed me a hotdog in a bun, no cosmetics or anything!"

My yard thinks it's spring

And it's in for a rude awakening today. My tulips are trying to come up and the purple flowers that bloom all over my yard every year are making an appearance. Stay asleep little flowers! The world isn't safe for you yet.

Genevieve cut her hair again

She has long thick beautiful hair. But she hates caring for it. So today we had it all cut off. She had more than enough to donate so we will send it to Locks of Love.

Starting the day off right

The girls got Starbucks gift cards for Christmas.

Knitted dish clothes

There is something very fun about these. Probably the fact that each one took about a day. I've only been knitting a couple months and I'm still slow. So this is as close to instant gratification as I can get.

Charcoal

Today we did some simple charcoal drawings. When the girls are learning a new medium, I tell them to draw flowers. They are something simple that can be complicated or can be imaginary and don't have to be realistic at all. There is a lot of freedom there and if things turn out badly, it's still a flower.
