Back To The Gardens

I took Evangeline back to the Botanical Gardens today. It was a little different than last time. I had to run after her a lot more, and she walked by herself the whole time until she got tired and didn't want to walk anymore. She also took a turn on the playground, which didn't have slides that were dangerous enough for her.

Hm. Flowers.

Aha.

I'll just run over here...

This is all they got?

She's also been drooling and doing this face a lot.
Which led me to believe she's getting another tooth.
I was right. 

Sunday Cuteness

hair

With hair like this, she can only be a composer or feminist liberation philosophy professor.

Grown Up Stuff

Today Evangeline got a taste of the grown-up world by helping me deal with all the lovely basil Kyle grew for us. Then she wondered why she was watching President Obama on TV.

This is pretty fun...

...can we be done now?

Consulting Elmo about politics.

A boy's dress.

Evangeline donned a dress that belonged to her great-great-great-grandfather John Ellis Coulter. He was a businessman in Connelly Springs, NC, who was a pious layman, teaching Sunday school at the church. So, here she is, wearing his dress.

Labor Day Field Trip

For a Labor Day outing, we went to a gristmill just outside Greensboro. The weather was very nice, and we saw lots of flour and fermenting persimmons and a kitty cat. We've still got pictures to catch up on from our weekend in Chattanooga, and even pictures of the reunion in Illinois. Tomorrow probably won't be as exciting as a gristmill, so I"ll put them up then.

She is really good at pointing out stuff.

Rust!

Worried.

Flour!

Flour!

Best part of the visit. Who wouldn't love getting tickled
in the face with a feral kitty tail?

Hanging out.

Cool

This is pretty much the coolest thing you're gonna see all day.
