A flower family

Rosie sent this drawing of hers in to work with me today and it just makes me all warm and mushy inside every time I look at it. We all have little hearts flying next to our smiling flower faces (except Dash, who got more of a teeny blossom than a bloom). Weegee the "bard" is flying nearby, too. I'm sure he'd love to be able to fly, poor domesticated, clipped pet that he is. Her teachers at school are encouraging the kids to sound out their words and take a crack at
independent spelling before resorting to assistance. That's where we get "mam" and "bard," I'm gathering.

(Sorry about the awful lighting--d@mn fluorescents.)
