sunflowers

we have some beautiful sunflowers in the backyard...decorating our back wall. michael planted sunflowers last year, and these were the children of the flowers he planted last year. except for the really really tall sunflower. it is nearly 2 stories tall! i can look out of my kitchen window and it greets me each morning. this flower came from a seed that ella planted in first grade. it grew and grew and grew...and then this week it bloomed. i just love sunflowers!
