IMG_0259For the first time in the 15 years we’ve lived here, sunflowers actually came up. Always before the chipmunks ate them when they were mere sprouts, but these are at least 12 feet tall and just starting to bloom.

We have a hedge of shorter varieties too.

I join the goldfinches, bees, and butterflies in my fondness for these bright flowers.
