Living in a rural area, I get to experience views on a daily basis that I often take for granted. As I was driving down one of the country roads near my house yesterday morning I was greeted by this awe-inspiring field of sunflowers. All of their heads were turned to the east to salute the morning sun. They beckoned me to visit with them for awhile before I headed further down the road. What a relaxing start to my morning task of running errands. While I didn't "stop and smell the roses" I did "stop and smile at the sunflowers". I am truly blessed to live in the sticks.
