Smiling down on Me

Tall
Yellow
Brown Eyes
Large and Lovely

I must admit to a love affair.
A love affair with these gorgeous golden petals.
This time of year they make my heart patter.
They shine with the sun.
Oh, Sunflowers!
You make my heart sing with Delight!
What brings delight to your heart today?

    Even though it's so rainy today, one of my favorite yearly sites appeared. Each year after harvest, the tractors start plowing under the fields. Seagulls from the lake find their way to the fields to follow and partake of earths goodness. Awesome!

    I only had one as big as this in the garden - and when I returned from Calif. I was so mad because something had bitten off - and probably eaten - the flower bud, all remaining was a stem and leaves, about 7 feet tall!

    You are really dwarfed by these babies Marilyn - are they in YOUR garden? Memories of Provence for sure.

    Hugs - Mary

    That first picture brings delight to my heart today. So does

    a new school year
    the sounds outside coming in through now-open windows
    buying pretty new sofa pillows
    the nuzzle of our dogs
    the moon last night
