this flower's for you


We have a pretty intense daisy plant going on in our front yard and the girls LOVE plucking them up. Sometimes they give them to me with specific orders on where they'll go in the house (from Sofia) or just to hold onto it (that's Olivia), but sometimes when they pluck these bright, white beauties we sit and pluck the petals one by one and watch them float to the ground. Sofia likes to make a fort of daisy petals around her and Olivia likes watching them blow away in the wind.

It's fun for me to just sit back and absorb all  that is taking place. Listening to them shriek when they've plucked a flower with a bug still attached, giggling when the wind carries the petals away and the sound of their feet running for a new stem as soon as they've had the last ounce of fun with their present pluck. All that fun from a silly daisy bush. Thank goodness it's doing so well.
