Cute, huh?
That is
The Annals of Imperial Rome, in my four-year-old's bed. She has been "reading" it every night before bed this week. She'll actually lay there with her little reading lamp on and flip through the pages, very seriously, for a good 20 minutes. Who needs Mother Goose when you can read Cornelius Tacitus? Not my Elena!
If you are the mother of small children, you've been the recipient of many bouquets that probably look very much like this. Every time a new tulip opens up out in my gardens, it is immediately picked and presented to me. I guess I didn't really want any flowers cluttering up my flower beds anyways. Although, if the children insist on picking my flowers (which is, still, far better than picking the neighbor's flowers) I would appreciate if they could leave more than a half-inch of stem attached. And of course the dandelions add just the right finishing touch.
