Sunflowers

Like always, Mitch (and me a little bit) has been working on our backyard. We... well it started out as just me, but then I begged Mitch until he agreed....... decided to put up a white fence behind our biggest flower bed. I was sick of seeing all the dead weeds and dirt behind it, plus the flowers needed a little shade. I think it looks lots better, and our flowers are all doing great! Mitch also planted a few different kinds of sunflowers around the backyard and they have all started to bloom in the last two weeks. Some of them are HUGE!

This is what it looked like before...

And after.... we still have to keep fence around the whole thing to try to keep the rabbits, squirrels, and chipmunks out!


Andy layed in the wet grass and watched as we put the fence up :)


Some of the sunflowers






This sunflower has to be almost 7 feet tall! It's crazy to think that it came from a tiny little seed!
