Summer memory

Visions of summer sunflowers dance through my head!

I went to a great sunflower field this past summer and took

tons of photos of these stately flowers. They towered over

me and nodded their heavy heads. Their leaves were bigger

than my hands! It's amazing how such a little seed can produce

this thick stalked, 8 foot tall blooming giant! I tried to grow them

once, but our local squirrel population liked them as well and

snapped their seedy heads right off. Oh well, then I just have to

buy them at the farmer's markets.
