Isn't This Gorgeous?

I called my mother this morning and she told me that I needed to get my sunflowers today before they were all destroyed. Not only have the squirrels been having a feast on the seeds, but today the birds started in on them too. My mom said that just from this morning to this afternoon, the birds ate up a lot of the sunflower petals.

My mom's favorite flowers are zinnias.

I spent a nice few hours this afternoon with my parents. I picked some flowers from the garden and enjoyed some good conversation. And now I have my favorite flowers in a vase in my apartment.
