Sunflower Update # 7832

We got another 1/2 inch of rain last night, in addition to a boat load of wind. Some of the sunflowers were a little wind-blown this morning...nothing too bad, though.
As you can see, the field is just a bit yellower today. Is "yellower" a word?

I thought that all of the cloud cover might keep more flowers from opening up. But NO! Still more are popping open. I'm thinking this weekend will be gorgeous!

Here's Ted going in for a close-up of a wheel bug.

Lots of flowers still look like this...which still makes for a pretty picture...I think.

Gorgemous!

But I am warning you:
If you plan to venture out into the field this weekend, YOU WILL GET MUDDY!!!
Don't say I didn't tell ya!
I wasn't brave enough to trudge in mud this morning, but it didn't stop Ted or his faithful companion Buddy. But they both clean up nice.
