Mellow Yellow



The sunny sunflowers growing outside the front of my house got my creative ideas going and I cut them this morning. I love sunflowers and I like how they look plopped in a clear vase with their heads nodding.

 Something so simple, yet full of statement about sunflowers. These grew from what had fallen from the bird feeder ~ so the birds have sown these flowers seeds. ;)


They did a pretty good job, right?

Got *me* inspired, that's for sure.





River's birthday is this weekend and we are going to have a party for him. I'm off to put together a menu and list ~ Barefoot Contessa recipes never seem to fail me for entertaining. I'm going to be making his cake - double chocolate.

Hope you have a great week!

    1. Thanks! Eeek, that is a scary thought - 23! They grow up way too fast. Just seems like last week I had this little 5 pounder in the nook of my arm in bed on a warm August morning. ;)
