As one of her fair entries Grace is gathering a display of flowers to dry. It was the perfect opportunity to spend some special time together, just the two of us.
One of our first finds was a patch of Black Eyed Susans, one of my favorite wild flowers.
The flowers seeds we planted earlier this spring had started to bloom so we picked a couple of those, too.
As I looked at these pictures it took me a little while to realize why they captivated me so. It finally dawned on me that it was the sunshine. After 3 weeks of nearly constant rain and gloomy weather it was so refreshing to see the sun again.
Of course keeping all of the critters from eating the flowers proved to be a challenge.
We too are working on fair projects. I guess it is that time of year : )
