The mother of all flowers... the sunshine. :)

This Saturday is due to be beautiful... temperature in the upper 60s, sunny... as much as I'd like to start painting the hallway bathroom, I think it is time to do some outside work. At Grandma Wallace's memorial in November, we were all given Mammoth Sunflower seeds to plant in her memory. This Saturday will be their day!

I plan to plant them along the back of the fence line. They will get all the sunlight they need and will face the back of the house so we can enjoy their beauty from the comfort of our screened in porch. Who wouldn't want to wake up to the beauty of these beasts? They grow up to 10 feet tall and I can't wait to watch them grow!

I also intend on digging up the flower bed in the front yard that is up at the street. It's currently filled with daffodills, ugly yucka bushes, and weeds. The daffodiles are lovely, but they are overwhelmed and honestly, I want variety in the flower bed... not just a whole mess of yellow. I'm not really sure what I will plant there... possibly just a whole bunch of wild flowers that I can trust will return next year.

I can't wait to plant my sunshine. :)
