Sunflowers

There is just something,

about sunflowers,

that makes my heart happy;

their bright yellow;

so vibrant;

for all to see;

their beauty.


Master Gardner Don planted sunflower seeds that the girls and I picked up earlier in the summer and took diligence in helping them grow.

Our whole family is now worshiping at their stalks!
