When we left for Europe, the sunflower garden at the farm was on the verge of bursting into its full glory. Upon our return, it had bloomed, many people enjoyed it, and now it's wilting with bees gathering the last bits of pollen and the birds and other animals eating the seeds.
One of the sunflowers stands out among all the others. It's still standing tall and my boss says she sees it from her house from the end of the lane. This big bunch of sunflowers beams its happy energy to all those who see it.
“Advice from a sunflower. Be bright, sunny, and positive. Know your roots. Spread seeds of happiness. Rise, shine, and hold your head up high. Keep on growing. Even on the darkest days, stand tall and find the sunlight.”

DeleteI would collect and plant the seeds from that very tall sunflower.
ReplyDeleteGood thought...I hope it's still standing next week.
