Wordless Wednesday: goodbye September sunflower

Mama of this empty nest, I’m content to live a quiet, country life with my husband of 40+ years and to view gorgeous sunsets off our own back yard deck. Mama to three adults and Nana to adorable grandchildren, my empty nest fills up again with noise and laughter when they all return 'home'. A former English teacher, reporter/editor, education director for a non-profit organization, and stay at home mom, I retired after a season of substitute teaching at a private academy. Now I enjoy time spent with my grandchildren and family and writing words that seem to pour out of my soul or wandering around the countryside with my camera. Foremost, my faith sustains me as I meander through the empty nest stage of life. My favorite scripture is 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: “Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” View All Posts

So pretty! We had a “volunteer” grow in the garden last summer–what a delight. I may have to plant some of my own in the future.

They are such ‘happy’ flowers I think. Just simply cheerful.

Oh, they are more beautiful than in real life!

I think these stood out so nicely because the backdrop was a field of corn turning brown. Thanks, Dor!!

SO beautiful! For some reason, my mom never cared for sunflowers, so it wasn’t until a few years ago that I really began to appreciate their beauty.

When I was growing up, we always had sunflowers in our garden so I’ve always thought they were special. They are also my oldest daughter’s favorite flower so I’m constantly on the lookout for them. I shot these at the entrance to an outdoor festival last weekend and they looked so vibrant in front of the drying corn field.

Still very pretty! I haven’t looked at our sunflowers yet after last night’s cold.

We didn’t plant any sunflowers this year in the garden, so i actually took this shot at an outdoor festival on Sunday. They looked so pretty against the field of corn.
