Good morning, Meg!
I will try to be more like the sunflower.
Feeling tired and crabby this morning.
I’ll try some Happy, Happy, Happy, attitude instead.
I have lots of weeding to do. Big weeds.
Thistles, not sunflowers!

Sunflowers are hardy plants. In West Texas and our several year drought Sunflowers do well if they are watered regularly. The conditions are so severe most plants cannot take it.

Lantana and Holly Hawks survive and thrive for me. I am conscientiously watering. Drought, over 100 degree temperatures for days at a time, water regulations, etc. Trees by the hundreds are dying all over town. It costs about a thousand dollars to have a tree removed. I water and have $150.00 water bill every month. We have a new water source, the city owns a water field 75 miles away that has now completed the laying of a pipeline to Midland delivering the water. Predicted to be a 40 year plus source of water. Barely a trace of rain for the last year, and an extended time before the last rain of a couple on inches. BAD!

Lovely, Meg. Helen Keller couldn’t see but she “saw” with her heart....God bless her. She was probably more appreciative than some of us.

Thank you Meg for another lovely post. I am always amazed by Helen Keller quotes since she could not hear nor see. I wonder what her mind 'imaged', what her dreams were like...

I am a lot of trouble posting, keep getting 'page not found' and I have to try over and over to even post a reply. Including jaycee and Yorkie as I may not get to other pings.
