a good time was had by all...

I had a great birthday. Bliss is unaware of this but I have a tradition of going out on my birthday and getting him a gift. It is a sweet fun thing now but him having an expectation of it would get annoying when he hits his teens I am sure.

Anyhow we went and got him his first bike. We had no where to ride back home that was safe so he was never interested but we went to a local bike thing this week in our town here and now he has a bike. He was excited and I put on training wheels when we got home.


His cheeks look so adorable in that helmet it is so cute!!




OK and this one just because ...well...seriously do I even need to say why I am posting this one??


I also cut my hair...ok I shaved my head on my birthday and I feel MUCH more like myself now. I do not know why I do this, I try and grow it out over and over but never feel like me with it that way. With it like this I look in the mirror and recognize myself again. It all stems from feeling like others will not think I am hippy enough if my head is shaved. Nothing else is shaved. My armpits and legs are nicely crunchy for my taste but my hair is awful and does nothing and I have a good shaped head. But it is honestly one of the only things I get hung up on with worrying what others may thing.



Anyhow I dropped the hang up again and shaved it and feel much better. Besides now Soul and I have matching haircuts!!


Thank you for all the wonderful birthday wishes. Thank you Michell for your thoughtful calls and I am so very sorry I forgot your birthday the very next day after mine!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY my sweet friend!!

Such cute pics. And you do look good with your head shaved. I think you look good with it a little longer too though. Thanks for the birthday wishes.

My grandmother always gave each of her grandchildren a book on her birthday. It was usually not wrapped, but inscribed to us from her with the date. Sometimes they were new books, and sometimes her treasures (Edna St. Vincent Millay Poems and what is now a valuable antique copy of My Antonia, but I'm sure she had no idea at the time). I always looked forward to these gifts on her birthday long past my teen years, and there was expectation, but in a low-key way.

Thanks for the pics. Happy Solstice, too!
