Summer and sunshine go hand in hand. It means so much to children who have freedom from school as the sun invites them outside. Workers stare out their windows wishing they might get a glimpse at lunchtime. Retirees enjoy gardening and evening peace on a deck or patio with an icy cold beverage. Some only able to get outside before the heat of the day.
I drove by a field of Sunflowers the other day but was not able to stop. It reminded me my daughter planted some in her yard for her bees and to shade her chickens from the sun. I went over to admire her crop early yesterday and already the had their faces open to the sun. Tall, majestic with many bees buzzing from flower to flower. What a beautiful sight, I just had to take some pictures.
Smelling the cool morning breeze, sitting a while and enjoying a cup of tea and conversation I only dreamed of while I had been working last year. It was awesome to enjoy the view!
