Lilly's Sunflower

As you know, we have enjoyed growing all kinds of vegetables and fruit in our garden. In fact, today Lilly and Claire ate our first ruby red strawberry from the garden. YUM!
One of the things Lilly requested in the garden was a sunflower. I love sunflowers- the state flower of Kansas- I think they are beautiful. Lilly said she wanted to grow the sunflower specifically for her math teacher at school. Lilly is in the "sunflower math group;" each math class has a team name. Her math teacher loves sunflowers too... and Lilly loves her math teacher.
Soon, we will chop down the flower and take it to school. But, for now, we will enjoy its sunshiny faces in the garden.
Here's the proud gardener with her super tall sunflower.
