A Sunflower Thing!
I have got to admit, I do have a thing about sunflowers.
The Girlie planted some when we lived in Josselin and they got transplanted when we moved to La Coudrais.
They seem to have taken the move very well!
They seem to be taking over!

Although the photos don't really show it, the tallest are over 8ft tall!
They seem to have a habit of,well....... for want of a better phrase, watching you wherever you go!
I know that they're only flowers but, they seem to have a personality all of their own.
I don't think that I'll be re-reading Day of the Triffids anytime soon!
The Girlie took this photo late one evening.
I don't think that the sunflower was very impressed at being woken up to the flash of the camera!
Doesn't the sunflower look powerful, though?
With this photo (and the next), I'm trying to convey some of the heat that we've experienced today.
I haven't read the thermometer because I don't need to put a number to one of the hottest days I have ever known (I don't even remember it being this hot in Turkey!)
The sunflowers seem to be loving it, though. Right up their street!
Next year we plan on planting a whole load more.
The seeds are cheap and they are dead simple to grow. Hopefully we should be able to use some of the seeds for our chickies, when they arrive.
If it would only cool down a bit, I could get on with building their fence!
Whilst sheltering from the heat, I've been working hard.www.Favicons4Free.com was a silly idea that I had on Monday.
Two days later and it's up there on the net and we are getting our first visitors.
If anyone reading this has a Blogger Blog and wants a personal Favicon, you might want to take a look at www.Favicons4Free.com - let me know how you've got on.
Back to reality now. Below are some of the photos we have taken.
