It was a year ago today that the Stephens family began blogging. To celebrate 365 days of posting and commenting, JoLee and I went back to the source of our first post: the sunflowers in Kansas.
I am sure that posting pictures of your wife breaking the law is unwise, but we're throwing caution to the zephyrs. Here JoLee is climbing a farmer's fence to get closer to the flowers.
We found a patch of sunflowers next to this pea field. By the looks of the peas, they're very close to the harvest. I grew up in the suburbs, so I wasn't even sure what these skinny green (and fuzzy) pods were until I got closer.
The wild sunflowers are not nearly large enough to produce sunflower seeds for the local Safeway. However, they do grow rather tall. At this time of year, they are in full bloom, and looking beautiful.
Here I am acting as a human measuring stick.
I convinced JoLee to climb into a flower patch, where she encountered plenty of insects. I now know how JoLee reacts to "scary bugs" landing on her. It's not pretty.
Thanks to all who have read and contributed throughout the last year. We look forward to another fun filled year of latin discussions, travel pictures, and hillarious comments.
