Some Things Stay The Same
It was drizzling while I was driving to my parents on the 4th of July. When I took this picture, it was still pretty warm. The air was still and I was feeling calm and relaxed. I've been driving by this field for decades. At this time of year, the field is always low, but by mid-August it will be tall with corn or grass that will become hay. I'm not sure what was planted this year, but it's nice to see familiar things. I pulled over to the side of the road and took this picture.
When I got to my parents house, my mom showed me some of the flowers and plants that she has this season.
Aren't they beautiful?
I love sunflowers. My mom was never a big sunflower fan, but started growing them especially for me. Now she loves them too! This patch by the side of my parents' house will soon have sunflowers. I cannot wait to see them!

Glad you had a great time there.Have a great weekend.
I can imagine how happily you are awaiting the sunflowers. Hope you have a great weekend.
nance - I think they might be. She has them all over. Oh and my lavender is not doing so well. : (
lotus reads - My parents live way out in the burbs, so there are many sights like this. When I was little, it was serious farm country. Many of the farms were sold to developers and there are tons of new houses now.
asha - I do love how they look toward the sun. Just like us! Maybe that's why people like them so much. I think there is something innate in us that wants to be near the sun.
After I did this post, I realized that it was Live Earth Day. It was fitting that my post celebrated nature! I watched some of the performances last night. It was pretty amazing. Enjoy your weekend too!
nina - You're welcome! Lillies are really beautiful and the scented ones are intoxicating.
kaylee - You're welcome! And belated Happy Birthday again! I remember my mom bought me a single rose for my 16th or 17th birthday and I thought it was just the coolest thing. I think that's when I started to really like having flowers.
mosilager - Thank you Doctor! ; ) I updated the name of your blog on my sidebar. Sorry it took so long!
starry nights - Good to hear from you! I hope you and your sister are doing well! ; ) And thank you!
suldog - They do live in a very pretty area. But I have never put a piece of grass in my teeth! ; )
tera - I will! ; )
ps - as much as i hate to "hate on" any of God's creatures - i really do NOT understand squirrels - they're SUCH a nuisance! ARGHHH! lol!
