To those of you still enjoying and sharing photos of your gardens full of beautiful, cheery flowers...
*Phttththththtth!* I say to you.
Ours burnt up in the Texas summer sun.
The grasshoppers still find them romantic, at least.
I'll get my turn next spring when we've got flowers blooming and birds singing and you're still elbow deep in snow. *giggle*
That must be what sunflowers look like in hell...right??!!! burned to a crisp!!!
Yes, you WILL be basking in sunshine when many of us are still shoveling snow. That's the ONLY consolation I can think of for the horrible summer you have endured! :P
I wouldn't think even a silly grasshopper would enjoy those pathetic sunflowers :(
HUGS...

Oh my those Sunflowers look so sad. I'm sad for you and them. It's been a "dry" summer here but things have not dried up. So here is a link to shttp://wishesdreamsandotherthings.blogspot.com/2011/09/photo-art-friday-2.htmlome happier sunflowers:
That last close-up of those grasshoppers was amazing. - It's spitting drops of rain here off and on today but nothing major.

Keeping positive thoughts is an art form of epic proportions for many folks....What I find missing is the subzero temps and high winds blowing snow sideways around the sunflower patch. That just shows folks what I am used to when the sunflowers look like that around here. As for the grasshoppers....I know people like that.... (oblivious) Happy Monday!....Love, Dad
