Reprise~Field of Sunflowers

Today I am joining Chari at Happy to Design for Sunday Favorites. This was a post I did two years ago. We have not planted our field of sunflowers since because at our farm in N GA we rely mainly on the rain and in our area for the past two years we have had some extremely dry weather. Another reason I am reposting this particular post is because it reminds me of a very dear friend whom we lost a couple of weeks ago. She was a blogging friend and we often would communicated with each other about our weekend retreats, our farms. She had one in Tennessee and had hoped to retire there one day. Her name was Becky and her blog was Random Musings of a Decolady.
I miss our chats about what was going on during the year with our farm getaways. This is my first time I have joined this blogging party.

We have a farm which is a second home in South Georgia and it is a weekend getaway. Last year we purchased the property at the end of our road and also the property directly across the dirt from us which allowed us to shut off the dead end road and put up a gate. After which we had this property cleared and my husband promised me a field of sunflowers which is what I want to share with you today.

Last week we went up to the farm to see how our sunflowers were coming along.




We found a few blooms but also had lots and lots of blooms coming along. We knew it would not be long.




We drove into our gate yesterday just for the afternoon and what an amazing site we saw. To the left of the gate, our field of sunflowers was in full bloom.



This is the view from the back of the field looking at our quaint little cabin. We have a rocking chair front porch with rocking chairs and a swing on it so we have an unbelievable view.





This is the view from the porch. This is the most relaxing site. The beauty of these sunflowers are absolutely incredible.












We were not the only ones enjoying the beauty of the sunflowers. As we drove up through the gate some turkey's with their babies were scurrying from the field. The field was also feeding lots of birds and the butterflies were enjoying them as well.





This coming weekend we will be taking a long weekend at our getaway farm to enjoy the splendor of our field of sunflowers because it won't last too long. Hopefully, I will get some photos of other wildlife enjoying our field.


I hope you have enjoyed my sunflower field as much as I have enjoyed sharing it.

Enjoy your day.
