One Man's Weed...

is many other things in the eyes of a child!

A gift for Mama:

A glorious, golden field of flowers that they can pick to their hearts content! We had bouquets filling our hands and pockets after this day was done!

A couple of days later, the same field turned into this:

Panic to new homeowners fresh sodded grass! But no worries to these kiddos! More fun to pick and pick and pick:

And then to make wishes!

Take a deep breath in...

Fly Wishes! Fly! Fly!

I might have mentioned it here before but there is a song that is sort of my "theme song" for Zoey. She just loved to run and explore and go, go, go and be free and this captured it. It is Tom Petty, and here are some of my favorite lines:

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Go away somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you

Run and chase your wishes, sweet girl!

what a cool place--since it's not your yard, right? i think ella and zoey would get along really well, the free-spirited crafty girls that they are.
