Be Like A Sunflower

Very last minute, aren't those trips the best, we took a drive to 
to see their gorgeous display of sunflowers, mums, wildflowers and farm animals.

This is a U-Pick Sunflower festival...one dollar per stem, you can cut any of the flowers in the field.
They provide buckets and clippers, you provide the fun.

There are over 60 acres of flowers, plenty for everyone.

Advice From A Sunflower

The fields were gorgeous...sunflowers as far as the eye could see.




I like these light yellow sunflowers best!




There were so many spots for awesome photo opportunities...
I think we took a picture at every. single. one.


- gorgeous mums -




- we have missed this -

and we had so much fun...

We went for a tractor ride, which was super fun and a little bouncy.

Greetings from New Jersey - The Garden State!

The Garden State indeed! I am so jealous of your sunflowers. Ours are finished here. What a lovely excursion, Debbie.

Thanks for the garden tour. Kansas doesn't have that many sunflowers! At least your photo tour didn't trip my allergies! I always wondered why NJ was the Garden State. It seems too far north and cold to grow things, from my view in the southern midwest. Thanks for the education! I've ordered some Breck's bulbs from Holland, so I hope they're here soon.

Hello Debby,:=) What a gorgeous day out, and another happy memory you created with these colourful photos. It looks like a fun place to visit, and I agree with you, I like the lighter coloured Sun Flowers the best, but I also l like the daisy shaped ones. Is that a sunflower scarf you are wearing ?

Oh how wonderful, looks like a perfect day to get out and enjoy the farm! So glad you are able to get out and about again, I can tell by your smile you had a great time :) We haven't been to the farm here to see the sunflowers, just to the parks to see the wild ones :)

I have actually been to New Jersey, but it was many years ago. I love Sunflowers and I have been by a field of them. The Mums are lovely. Most of all I enjoyed the wonderful photos of the two of you. Your smiles tell it all!
Sending hugs to you two!
