February Flowers

During the warm day last week, Lilly went outside with sidewalk chalk and drew a couple of flowers on the driveway. They were nice enough drawings -- past tense because a few days later, rain and snowmelt washed them away.

But what really caught my attention was the fact that she not only signed them with her name but also '09, one complete with apostrophe (the other, I can't tell).

That's my girl. Could be that she picked up the impulse to date her work, even the sort that's sure to disappear, from me.
