sunflowers at the farm

Last summer we spent at least one day a week at the farm and experimental gardens. However, this summer we haven't been heading there quite as much - maybe that's because it's been such a hot summer. I was reminded this week of the farm when I saw the sunflowers for sale at Farm Boy, our local grocery store and I immediately remembered the patch of land at the experimental farm where they plant sunflowers each year. We got some nice pictures there last year and I decided we'd take a trip to see them.

There is just something so special and beauitful about sunflowers, maybe it's their sunny demeanour that simply brightens your day.
