“Flowers have an expression of countenance as much as men and animals.
Some seem to smile; some have a sad expression;
some are pensive and diffident;
others again are plain, honest and upright, like the broad-faced sunflower and the hollyhock.”
– Henry Ward Beecher-
Dear ones, I’m not doing so well today, so I thought lingering among these bright and cheery sunflowers might be the very best thing to do. I hope you have a wonderful day wherever you are, secure in the knowledge you are loved, you matter, and this world is better because you are in it. xo
OH! I love love sunflowers. If I could I would plant them all year round – but not in Michigan =) here are some I grew last year! http://bit.ly/iandWz
Great job on growing them, SL2W!! 🙂 How wonderful to have them in your own yard. 🙂
bright and beautiful !! i’m sure you felt better after being in a field full of sunflowers 🙂
I do indeed, picky eater! The light and color and those lovely open spaces do wonders. 🙂
Beautiful! Sunflowers always make me smile =)
Thank you, Andrea! 🙂 They make me smile too. 🙂
I’m not feeling so great today and seeing these pictures brightened my day. Hope you are doing better soon!
Big hug to you, dear Breanne. Hoping you can rest today and get restored. Love you!
Nothing prettier than a happy sunflower face!
I agree, Barbara. 🙂 They’re such cheering flowers. 🙂
Feel better. Those sunflowers look so warm and content.
Thank you, Tracy. xo They are lovely to look at, aren’t they?
i hope you feel better soon. i love sunflowers and i agree with Beecher they do communicate with us with their ‘body language’. Nothing better than enjoying the beauty a field of flowers, fresh air, skies, and birds chirping when we are feeling blue ….
Cheers,

Thank you, Heguiberto. 🙂 The medicine is working but recovery takes a couple of weeks. Hopefully I’ll be heaps better soon. 🙂 So glad you love the sunflowers too! 🙂
I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had a difficult day. Did the sunflowers give you a boost? There’s nothing quite like sunflowers en masse to tease out a smile. Hope you can feel the hugs I’m sending you!! xx
