When you are sorrowful look again in your heart,
and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.

We Have Flowers!

YAY! We did it!
We have SUNFLOWERS!



Our tallest flower is 12' 1'' high.
The leaves are 18" across.
The stems are 2" in diameter.
We've never grown sunflowers before
so I'm just amazed at the size of them!



Chriiiiis!!!
Don't drop Sarah!



Hope begins in the dark,
the stubborn hope that if you just show up
and try to do the right thing,
the dawn will come.
~ Anne Lamott


Just look at those tiny seeds... unbelievable!
Thanks again to all who participated in the blood drive last May. You "showed up" to support a good cause!

  1. Love that Anne LaMott...and those amazing sunflowers. And the grins on Chris and Say's faces. That says it all right there. Love carries us forward.

  2. That was fun! Chris was more worried about how I didn't shave my legs and not how heavy I was!! I still can not believe the size of those sunflowers!!

  3. Well, you have lost weight...But, I was a bit concerned about the fact that your legs were like a small pine forest - is it culturally acceptable to not shave in Wisconsin?

    Kidding of course, but the sunflowers are beautiful!
