Sunshowers

My mom sent out some sunflower seeds at Easter this year. Last year the squirrels dug up our seeds before they ever had a chance. This year I planted the seeds amongst our bean row, and for whatever reason, they actually left them alone.

I love the large heads of the sunflowers and how they droop like a shower head. The plants range from 10 to 12+ feet high, and are definitely tall enough for a sunflower shower.

Wouldn't that make a cool outdoor shower? A bronze sunflower head, with leaves (soap holders) and a stalk... even a small one would be cute!

It has been fun looking out of our window to see the sunflowers in bloom. It reminds me of what's good in life, sunshine, flowers, and fresh air.
