It's summer, so it's still hot,
but not so stinkin' hot that you can't stand it.
At least not today.
And today is good.
The sunflower heads are getting big,
and I love to take these heads to school
-when they are dried- for my students to paint.
They make the perfect specimen
with their radial design and texture.
And they remind me of a favorite quote-
"Keep your face to the sun,
so you cannot see the shadow."
And we'll be having a county land use meeting soon,
in early August,
with restructuring the chicken permit fee
as a hot topic.
So I need to keep my face to the sun and remember
that St Joe still has my back.

Love your sunflower and your St. Joseph statue!
Great sunflowers and even GREATER quote. Isn't that the truth of it- if we are facing the Sun/Son..we can't see the shadows behind us. I love it- xo Diana
Oh I sure hope they change things but that is absolutely ridiculous. I mean crazy. Love your sunflowers. That is sure a pretty spot.
Love the sunflower and fence. One of my favorite things is a fence with flowers.
I have always liked the sunflower, Andrea. What a fun thing for your students to dry them out and paint on them. It must be great for you to see all the different paintings on the flowers. A child's imagination is so special.

I adore sunflowers! My girls planted 2 last year and they were HUGE! Why didn't we plant them this year?! Oh well, there's always next time! Love the idea of painting them too!

Good saying, keep you face to the sun etc. I will keep that in mind, even though at times it is hard to do. Love your sunflowers, I grew a few, but my yard is not very big, and where I have sun I wanted roses! Wishing you luck with the county land meeting. So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – your creativity helped make the party a success!
