the kid, some flowers and tint

first the kid. THIS would be the reason we call him 'fluffy head' it's apparently the new fashion. we can't make his hair lay down. i'm hoping as it gets longer the weight of it will make it lay down. poor little guy. he will never be able to have short hair unless he wants it to stick straight up. hopefully mohawks will be in fashion when he gets big! two cowlicks - whoda thunk it?





second, some zinnias from my garden. only two today - there are a bunch of flowers though. all colors.




third, we had our windows tinted in our living room yesterday. unfortunately, they need scaffolding to reach our second story windows so they will do that next week. in the meantime i wanted to take a picture so we'd remember how bright it actually was in there. so hot in the summer that watching tv between 2pm and 6pm is a joke and i could seriously cook dinner on the slate flooring. if i wanted to eat dog hair with my dinner... ;) they say the tint should knock out about 70% of the heat and glare coming through the windows. 70% that's a bunch!

Gorgeous gorgeous hair!

I miss big sunny rooms - we used to live in Florida - yours is amazing.

I'm waiting to see your bread recipe on the blog. Yeah, I make bread. I can send you a super easy whole wheat recipe if you like. Few ingredients, stir, let rise and bake.

Phlox WILL grow in the South - just give it a little shade to help it through the day.

Awww, adorable fluffy hair! He's so cute!

Your living room is gorgeous, as is the view from the windows. It's very much like the view from my studio windows which looks out onto the woods behind our house...especially now that spring has made everything green again. :)

Such a soft and sweet baby head!

he is sooo cute. the hair is cute, too. it will grow longer and lay down better.

christopher has really fine wacky hair. his mattes up in the back. i kid him that he is albert einsteins lost relative.

on window tinting you will love it. we did this to our livingroom, because we have two huge square windows. it will help save your furniture from fading, too.
great investment!
