Flowers, flowers everywhere!

I was looking forward to planting sunflower seeds with Beatrice this afternoon. We went and bought the seeds and returned home to a package on the porch. It was a box from cousin Margo containing a dozen or so of the coolest handmade flower hair clips ever. What a wonderful surprise and just what my girl needed to look like an official gardener. Here are shots of her doing a clip fashion show before heading outdoors, then some near the garden. She was most helpful to me of course, as she did the following tasks: crushing the envelope of seeds, sucking on the empty envelope, licking the dirt-covered spoon in-between digs, and then nearly falling asleep after an exhausting ten minutes.
