Rummaging through the miscellaneous box of Halloween decorations, I found this priceless piece: little sister Sandra's 1st grade happy little witch named Sally. Those were the days when someone would give you a piece of paper with a black triangle glued on it and tell you to scribble away.
We wait all spring and summer for these giant plants to do something other than take over our gardens. Wriggling like unruly snakes straight up into the air, all brute and no show, they make us want to give them a snip snap with the pruners. Then, finally, at 12 feet tall, these sunflowers burst forth and enclose us in a sunflower jungle. A treasure worth waiting for!
While planting daffodil bulbs last week, I happened upon this earthen treasure -- a 1914 dime! Quite the surprise to find, at 6 inches below our normal viewing scope. On ebay it was selling for $8. The thrill and surprise of finding it seems to be a little more valuable than a measly $8.
