Because Natale's mom had this week off Tessa and I had private school this week. It didn't take long before we pulled out the hose and fill a little plastic pool with "spray water" in order to cool off.
Between the new-baby-family-time, an unexpected elongated Memorial Day weekend, and a battle with a bug I hadn't spent much time with Tessa during May.
The first thing I noticed when her family delivered her on Monday morning was she seemed taller. It soon became apparent she is in a growth spirit when she couldn't go longer than an hour without announcing "I'm hungry". I made a raw Zucchini Miso salad (that I was certain she would turn down) with buffalo sliders for dinner on Monday and she raved about how wonderful dinner was every time she passed through the kitchen.
Tessa was delighted with the tomatoes ripening in the garden as tomatoes are a favorite food. We picked tomatoes and carrots and beets (better know as mint leaves) to float in our water, collected eggs and made it all into math lessons.
The marigolds I planted along with the tomatoes are in full bloom and she was tickled to get permission to pick one each day. She loved how soft the petals felt. As she put the stem between her fingers admiring her flower ring our conversation went like this:
Me: Do you remember why we planted the Marigolds
T: No
Me: Because the bugs don't like them.
T: Once they see them they will like them.
Me: I think it is the way they smell that the bugs don't like.
T: (smelling her flower) When the girl bugs smell them they will like them.
How can you argue with that?
