Well, hello there

08/10/2015 by Holly

They bloomed.

They bloomed.

sunflowers

Granted, we were on vacation, and granted, they don’t really look all that hot, but…

they bloomed.

I snipped them so fast and got them into a favorite vase so this is the only picture.

Also {who knew?} they were kind of buggy…so I don’t think I’ll be snipping them in the future. I will just let them be their au naturale selves and keep all the ants outside, thank you very much.

I think they’re a metaphor for this whole season. They were started late {these are actually the THIRD round, you can see here for all the complain-o on the first two, if you please,} the odds were stacked against them, they suffered at the hands of both nature AND caretaker…

 

But, did I mention?

They bloomed.

And guess what that makes me want to do:

yep.  Try again next year.

Oh, hi there

I'm Holly from zone 7b.
My veggies grow above ground where the rabbits help themselves, and the flowers grow in ground where the children help themselves. Sometimes I wish I was a pioneer. Then I move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and think better of it.
