Pigtails and Roses

Hot again yesterday- 90's. Emma has been letting me pull her hair up now. I gave her little pigtails for the first time. I think she knew she was cute and kept hamming it up for the camera. Also sharing with my little Emma Rose a real rose. First one of many to bloom on the rose bush that was here in the backyard. So many buds on it- all this pink color. So pretty! Sometimes you have to deal with the thorns in life to see the beautiful things.....
