Locks Given

Georgia has been bugging me to cut her hair since last summer. I love her long curls and have been very resistant. But a few months ago, I promised her that she could cut her hair once ballet was over. I had mentioned the Locks of Love program to her and after looking at the website, she decided that she would like to donate her hair to a little girl that needed it.

True to a woman on a mission, she reminded me of my promise the week of her recital and wanted to go the morning after her last performance. I reluctantly agreed, because after all, it is her hair. So without further adieu, I give you Georgia, 12 inches shorter........

Le Corsaire Ballet





A few pictures from Georgia's onstage debut in the Le Corsaire Ballet in this year's recital. Her class level was included this year, which was apparently a first for the studio. She did a very good job.

Spring Flowers



A few shots of the irises and alliums blooming in my yard. I neglected to snap the daffodils and tulips before they were done blooming or these cool Double Late Tulips that were ravaged by the vicious wind we received a week ago. They were gigantic, double-petaled, and pink and white colored. Oh well. Next year.
