It's Been 2 Amazing Years

 

Happy birthday to my youngest daughter!  She is sweet, playful, just a little devious and I can't wait for more birthdays to come.

A sunflower reaches for the sky.

This sunflower graces a corner of the Lettered Streets' Gossage Garden, no doubt brightening the spirits of many who pass by. According to the Victorian "language of flowers" I recently referred to in my recent daisy post, the sunflower sends a message of pure and lofty thoughts. I had no idea sunflowers had any aspiration beyond being pretty and providing really yummy seeds.

Hovander Sunflower

Clearly, I didn't take this picture recently... but it's been pretty gloomy around here lately, so I thought we could all use a little sunshine from early September! This sunflower is in one of Hovander Park's abundant flower gardens.
