Summer sunflowers


Sunflowers are my favorite flower, and while I wish these were growing in front of our house, they belong to our neighbors. I can't believe how tall they've grown, but they could use some rain. (It was the second hottest June on record in Knoxville with little rain.)

I do have a sunflower to look at thanks to a birthday gift from my parents in May. It's a solar-powered sunflower that stays outside during the day and then lights up at night. I keep it on our back porch and can see it lit up at night.

During a storm one night last week, the wind was very strong and knocked it over, so we brought it inside.


Here's a better shot of how it lights up. Cash is in the photo too. Can you find him? Thanks for my sunflower Mom and Dad! :)
