embroidered basket
my mad
embroidery skills
impress you,
no?
actually this
is the most
impressive thing
i have ever
embroidered.
i must be a
little old lady
inside.

(I swear the cockiness from my peacock post must have seeped into this post, too.)

“hello ladies,

ballerina
Her ballet/tap
combo class
will be having
a recital in June.
She was so excited
to get her pretty
pink tutu
today.
rainbow of socks
Whilst doing laundry
she was asked
to find the matches.
She was so proud
of herself
when she was done.
(I love socks, colorful one especially.
These are brand new from Costco.)

powder your dog
“look at my lily,”
she said as i climbed
the stairs
“i made her so pretty!”
she said as i looked
in awe at my white
dog.
her brown/black spots
covered in baby powder.
my dog looked
ghostly, and
so guilty.

Day 168

lizard belly
We are not
sure what species
of lizard this guy is.
We found him near
our compost bin
partaking in flies.
His beautiful blue
belly and orange throat
made him stand out
from the usual
western whiptails
we find.

Day 167

fish tank
She wanted
a pet,
but is not
ready for
a hamster
or rat.
She wanted
something
new to
celebrate
her eighth
birthday.
So we bought
a fish tank
and she
picked out
a dalmatian molly
to be her
new pet.
One fish is
lonely so
we also
bought some
white skirt tetras.

Melly Rose
From that day
