My full, somewhat entertaining, life as a homeschooling mommy, raising a child with HLHS (Hypolastic Left Heart Syndrome), following Jesus, and being much too camera happy
As we head into the weekend, here’s a quote to brighten your day.
“The happiness of life is made up of the little charities of a kiss or smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment.”–
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“Where flowers bloom so does hope.”
– Lady Bird Johnson
I’ve seen tall sunflowers at pumpkin patches but I never thought I’d see one growing this large in someone’s yard. It was worth the time to pull over and check them out in the blazing heat.
When my kids and I read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle, I didn’t think a flower could grow as tall or taller than a house. That is until yesterday, when I saw with my own eyes that sunflowers can grow as tall as they please: keep looking towards the sun.
Its stems were thick, solid, and hardy (not that I tried bending them to check its hardiness) as bamboo stems. Amazing sight. I hope that house owner knows their flowers bring joy and admiration of nature to passersby.
“Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It’s what sunflowers do.”
Helen Keller
