Betsy's Bouquet

Ever since I planted the seeds

in April

Betsy and I have 

been anxiously

waiting for our bouquet

of Sunflowers!!

Well, it's 

not much of a 

bouquet...

you see,

first came the weeds,

then the bugs,

then the winds...

and now I'm lucky

for 4 or 5 nice

Sunflower heads!

It's a cool and cloudy morning

so Betsy asked

if she could come over 

and have her picture taken

on the farm with some 

sunflowers!!

She loves her sunflowers!!

I was out with the camera anyway

(getting some shots for 

tomorrow's Rural Thursday Post)

so I said come on over!!

She came prepared with

some of her own flowers

(since mine aren't the best this year)

and we did a little 

tour of the farm...

snapping pictures 

at every point of interest!

in front of the chicken coop...

(good thing the chickens were

on the other side of the yard!)

In the grape arbor...

under some yard junk art....

We admired some other flowers 

along the way...

the hostas are almost

done blooming...

we stopped at the fish pond...

and reflected for a bit...

one last pose by the only

sunflower open today...

Isn't Betsy a great subject?

She never flinches even with 

a bee buzzing around her bonnet!!

We closed the garden gate 

and talked about 

how and where to plant

more sunflowers next year...

maybe gathering seeds now

and planting them earlier??

Betsy had all kinds of suggestions...

that's just the way she is!

"Would you like Betsy 

to visit you?

If so, I have some 

medication to share with you too!!"

:)

Have a happy day,

Thanks for stopping by 

and smiling with me today!!
