Post #277

The other day Ben commented that he liked Anna's hair down and natural, he thought she would look weird with clips and things making it point straight up. So while he was at the store I put many bobby pins in her hair to make a mowhawk.

This was just version 1.0, after I changed her clothes and had to do it again, it was much better. Ben was not a fan. This is what he decided would look better.

The "Newsie" look.


On an unrelated note, the flowers in our yard have started blooming. I had no concept, we moved in in August, so we have never seen this yard maxed out. The yard is thick with Irises of every color. They are everywhere, and apparently they are really easy to take care of, drought resistant and etc. which is good because we don't have a sprinkler system.
The Iris is named for the Goddess of the Rainbow, it is also what the Fleur de Lis is based on. So I think I will name our house "The Irises" (It's very "Thousand Oaks" isn't it?)
these rust ones are my favorite
beautiful clover flowers

Although I am a fan of the natural look with the wild breeze blowing through Anna's locks... I could get used to the newsies look and of course on special outings I could admire her rockin' mohawk. However, what this really is is a word of caution... Irises. Irises, though beautiful, are darn near impossible to kill. So if you decide you hate them more than they are worth, make sure you have your lumberjack neighbor over for lemonade and a good ax swingin' cause you will be at them for a good while.
