The sun is rich
And gladly pays
In golden hours,
Silver days,
And long green weeks
That never end.

I like sunflowers, can’t grow them here, but appreciate their beauty and meaning. Wonderful photo.
Thank you, Ally. I do remember you saying that you can’t grow sunflowers where you are. Confession: this one is in a store-bought bouquet, a gift, but it caught my fancy, and with this heat wave it doesn’t look like I will be going outside to take pictures of anything any time soon!
🌻An absolutely wonderful way to begin my summer day. Beautifully posting design. 🌻
Thank you, Teri! 🌻🌻🌻
I love sunflowers. They remind me of my younger daughter with an August birthday, they were a favorite of hers as a child.
What a sweet connection you have with sunflowers and your daughter, Karma. 🌻 I used to love visiting a huge field of sunflowers in August back in Connecticut.
Wonderful to be face-to-face with this sunflower, Barbara. The accompanying John Updike poem is delightful.
So glad you enjoyed the combination, Jet. That sunflower was calling out to me from the bouquet. 🌻

That’s a beautiful bouquet Barbara – someone was thoughtful or you bought it for yourself. 🙂 I like the verse too. Makes me feel cheery about the season (while snarling about the heat). 🙂
My sister-in-law brought the flowers to me for the indoor summer solstice picnic we had. The bouquet was so huge I had to split it between two vases! 🌻🌻 Sometimes one can find the best poetry in children’s books. 🙂
That was very thoughtful of your sister-in-law and I like the idea of a summer solstice celebration. Dr. Seuss was one of my favorite poets and I have used many of his wise quotes through the years in my blog.
