105 degrees outside.
A bright blue sky with a sun that is quite sure of itself.
July. Summer. No doubt about it.
So, we decided to go ahead and have a summer photo shoot.
Since our winter photo shoot went so well and all.
We picked flowers for our hair; my niece Lyric lent me her sunglasses.
I mean, they went so well with my dress, it was inevitable.
We stood in some prickly grass.
All colors and attitude under a burning sun.
And right. The prickly grass.
Apparently Charis stepped on some real real prickly grass.
And these girls are serious about their photo shoots.
And I am serious about braiding hair.
Striking.
And some friends make fun of me for never having mowed the lawn. I know, considering there is a lot of lawn around these parts, this is rather surprising. But at least now here is some documentation of me sitting on a tractor. Which does mow the lawn. One step closer, at least.
So very pretty.
Whimsy and beauty.
We stood and faced the world; the fact that we had smiles, flowers, and each other made all the difference we needed, I think.
Oh, life!
It’s sometimes just right.
And today was one of those days.
