A couple of weeks ago as my sister and I were driving down to La Grange, I look out of the window and I see these fields of sunflowers.
I had never really noticed these fields before. Typically, when driving through Texas, you would see corn or wheat or soybeans or cotton or some other grain that my Dad could name from a glance, but I would have no idea what it is. But, there were fields upon fields of sunflowers.
Then, last night as I was driving to meet Sara for our recurring pedicure and dinner catch up discussion, I look over and see more fields of sunflowers and cars pulled over with people getting out and taking their picture with them as the Texas sun was setting (and yes, Texas has a completely different sun than the rest of the world...deal with it). Seeing all of those sunflowers opened and blooming and faces up to the sky made me so very happy and I got to thinking about what joy simple flowers can bring to me...especially the unpretentious sunflower.
I think if I ever get married, I wand to carry sunflowers in my bouquet.

they are happy flowers! I think one of my "fb friends" posted a bunch of pics of their kids in a sunflower field.
Very pretty
