A Celebration Of Sunflowers

~ Flowers, Gardening, Summer

Happy Tuesday sweet friends! Are you ready to celebrate?

“The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation—”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭18‬:‭46‬ ‭

Each year when the sunflowers bloom, I get excited and celebrate their arrival by photographing their happy, sunny faces! Grab a glass of iced tea and join me for a visit to our sunflower patches.

I order sunflower and zinnia seeds from Johnny’s Seeds. We have had wonderful success with their seeds for several years. They still send out catalogs and I feel like a child again (remember the Sears Christmas catalogues) as I peruse pages of flower and vegetable seeds!

‘Sunrich Orange’ have just started blooming. Their blooms are 4 to 6 inches in size and are single stem!READ MORE

Road construction has been ongoing for several years on the highway that will soon route traffic further away from us. While road construction isn’t necessarily an attractive feature of our everyday living (and daily drive), a scene like this will take your mind off those orange and white barrels!READ MORE

“This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭118‬:‭2

Grab your comfortable shoes and perhaps an umbrella as we take a walk in the garden.

Ageless Beauty daylilies have been stunning this year. Their thick, creamy white petals are decorated with a raspberry-red throat and frilly matching trim.READ MORE
