I posted this sunflower with a Haiku last year for Becky’s Square & Cee’s FOTD, but the flower did not come back this year. Maybe it is late or maybe this was my neighbor saying goodbye. This sunflower is special because it was the only one to come up just a few months after its owner passed away. Chris was my neighbor across the street and she passed in February, 2020 at the age of 94. She was a light in our lives and this flower is a reminder that she was leaving us a message to follow the brightness and we would eventually see the light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I hope it brightens your day! I just had to share it again.

Thank you Becky! I was thinking about her and got inspired. Then I looked over at the house and still don’t see anything. 🙂

or not! The new owner was weed whacking the yard today and if there was even a hint at a stalk, I’m sure it got whacked today! At least I have the photo and I’ve been able to share the story. 🙂

oh dear 😦 I love watching seedlings come up to see what they turn into, always think you can pull them out when they are larger if you don’t like them but fun first to see what they are

He’s a cop so not much into flower gardening. Whack it and keep it looking like a minimalist lives there. 🙂

Yes, it is too bad. I’m still hoping but it is warmer now than it was this time last year. 🙂
