Do Sunflowers make you smile? – Wordless Wednesday

Happy sunflowers make me smile, how about you?

If roses tried to be sunflowers, they would lose their beauty; and if sunflowers tried to be roses, they would lose their strength.

Can you tell I like sunflowers?

    It’s been a very emotional few months with our parents. As you know and have experienced. It’s life! Though very hard to see them losing their independence and privacy. Having said that, my sociable father has lot’s of people to chat and to join in activities. He spent all his after not being able to play golf caring for Mum. The carer is the first to deteriorate. Then Les … that’s another health story that’s progressing further 🙄

My mom’s assisted living community gives residents fresh flowers every other Tuesday. Her last bouquet had a huge sunflower in it. Mom loved it! It was like a vase of sunshine.

I love sunflowers too. We have lots of snow around our house in Pennsylvania, much of it from a 30″ storm three weeks ago! Loved seeing your sunflower pictures. Blessings, Michele

Yes They do. It is only recently I noticed you can buy sunflowers as cut flowers – I bought some in the greengrocers yesterday.

Welcome to Deb’s World

This is the world according to me…in photos, words, stories and sometimes even poetry. It’s a fun creative outlet, and as a bonus I get to meet some amazing bloggers from around the world.

My aim is to make you smile, educate you in some way, maybe inspire you and to share my world, while learning about your world.

I love an adventure and I always seem to find one – or it finds me! It keeps me feeling young :)

I’m living life to the fullest and embracing the challenges that come with midlife! I’m now a grandmother x 4, and I am as happy as a pig in mud.

Please take your time exploring my world – it’s full of stories, travels, adventures, photos and love.

I appreciate your visit, your likes and any comments or feedback you care to leave me. Feel free to share the love 😊
