Is there anything more cheerful than a field of sunflowers?
As kiddo and I slog through the frustration that is virtual school during a pandemic, taking the opportunity to wander through a giant field of sunflowers was a very welcome distraction. So much so, that we decided to go two weeks in a row.
It was amazing to see the change in the blooms just seven days later. On our first trip to walk through the sunflowers, about half of the flowers were open and we saw zero honeybees. But on week two, almost all of the sunflowers had bloomed and there were multiple bees on most of the blossoms. The farm we visited allows you to take a sunflower home with you, so we now have a little slice of sunshine on our kitchen table. 🙂

Absolutely stunning! Your mom was telling me about that. We’d love to take our grandson next year. You’ll have to check out Anderson and a Girls Orchard and zoo someday. Love your posts!
