Poof







In honor of the third day since November ninth that bare ground has appeared (following on the heels of yesterday, day the second), I took Skylark outside this morning to document her birthday dress.







I bought (yes, bought) her this four dollar frock because I could not resist it (okay, "resist" is probably not the right word, as I jubilantly bought it after actively searching for just such a dress). It stands in lieu of the birthday gift I never made her but that still revolves inside my head in all its untainted perfection. Most of the time, things look better in my head, anyway.







I'm mourning that, after a year of dandelion poof, her hair is starting to settle down, even though some residual poof remains. Darn gravity. 

You had a good run, though, little one. Here's to long and luscious locks in 2019!
Oh, how we love you.

Oh, precious Skylark! She is gorgeous, as all your children are. I love the joy on her face as she greets her birthday in her beautiful, new dress. God is good - always!

Much love!

Thanks for affirming her cuteness, all!
But the poof. Sigh. I still miss the poof. :)

You caught the poof just in time! Now you've traded the poof for pixie pigtails.

Love the dress. It is perfect!
