Sam’s birthday is coming up. I wanted to do a photo shoot and make nice cards for him, like I did for Jack’s party invites. After mulling over a party theme I decided to go simple – gardens. Flowers, plants, sort of a Beatrix Potter / Sam Gamgee theme. Then I decided I had to re-knit a sweater for Sam. I made him this one last year but he outgrew it before the weather turned cold. I unraveled it, bought a second skein, and spent the last week hurrying to knit it up. He had all those fevers in the meantime, so it’s just as well I waited. Then I had to visit two garden stores to find some decent flowers to stage the photo.
Finally today, with a beautifully overcast sky, I was ready to take some pictures.
Sam was not in the mood.
I was going to hide these. I shared them with Ben who was laughing so hard he had to share them with his office mate too. After reflection, I see how gloriously doofy they are. They need to be seen.
Oh, my beautiful child!
