Wow, so I’m not the only person haunted by those freaking zombies. I thought I was going crazy for a minute there.

Just yesterday, no joke, I was with an old buddy who says his pet tortoise “Doorstop” loves dandelions more than anything in the world. Amazing coincidence.

Now six different kinds of daffodils, or even seven. Not sure.

what I like even more is ‘horn’ twists. but the Jellybean would never let me ‘do’ them to her, alas. somehow it never occurs to me to do them myself, though I believe my hair is long enough …

And, yes, nothing worse than getting zombie out from under the lawnmower. Worse than wet grass.

I *also* braid the hair. I did two pigtail-type braids starting high up on the head this morning (this is on my daughter, not me) and Gamma tonight modified that into sort of a Japanese manga/popstar look with lots of barrettes and clips. I am fond of French braids and sort of a Bavarian/Princess Leia thing I do, starting a braid in front and continuing it along towards the back, tight to the head, and down to the neck and beyond as regular braids (Gamma has very long hair).

*you* braid the hair? respect. I recently discovered that tiny tight braids make a good barrette substitute if you pull them toward the back of the head while braiding. those nice new ouchless elastics are groovy, also.

As long as you have a good lawnmower, the zombies aren’t that much of a bother. The cleaning afterward can be tedious though.
