Hooray for the first sunflowers of the season! I'm not typically a big flower person [given the choice, I'd take chocolates and a pedicure any day of the week] but something about these plants make me so happy. Maybe it's because I watched weeks ago as my father and younger sister planted the seeds and now they're over seven feet tall. Maybe it's because they remind me a little of myself - happiest in the hot weather, with the sun shining on them. Ever since getting engaged I though I'd have a "flower-less" wedding but seeing these guys in my backyard might just change my mind yet...
