Sprout's sprouts

Perhaps it will be an early Spring. Can you see what's budding?

Here's a closeup. You may have to click the photo to enlarge. We see hair sprouts peeking through the helmet holes almost daily around here.

And here's what we do as soon as that helmet is off.

We reach up and feel that hairy stuff as if to say "What the heck is up there?"

She will give that head a good exploratory scrubbing with those hands.

Not too much longer, Lucy bug. You'll be helmet free soon. Until then, sprout away!
