~ grateful for ... sunflowers ~

We planted them late and weren't expecting anything much
But like Jack's beanstalk they grew and grew...
And this week they bloomed.




 












Such happy-making flowers.
I smile every time I see them.
The wombles think they are amazing.

We're all grateful for sunflowers and the simple joy they bring this week.
