Sunflower Fields

The sunflowers are in bloom!
And I adore sunflowers.

 So, I decided that today was a good day 

to go traipse around in the dirt

 and stand in a whole field full of sunflowers.

Almost every bug and bee in this state 

decided today was a good day for that, too.

We met in the field.  

And a few of them tried to hitch a ride home with me.  

But I said "No!".

The biggest sunflowers were taller than me,  

a couple of days past their prime bloom,  

and beginning to bow their heads.

The smaller ones were just beginning to pop open.

I picked a few, 

paid my money at the field box 

and brought them home.

 I think they look very happy sitting here

 next to the crewel sunflowers made by my Mama.

They sure make me smile.
