Despite not having any snow (yet) this year, I'm eying my empty flowerbeds as I walk past them. All empty and barren. So depressing this time of year.
Then a seed catalog arrives which is kinda funny because my flower seeds come from the dollar store. I've been wanting to plant a row of sunflowers in front of the barn this spring, but being the cheapskate I am, I'd probably plant what ever the dollar store had. Probably marigolds.
As I turned the pages, I grew envious. I knew most of these plants were beyond my ability. And I wasn't about to spend money on something I'd most likely over feed, drown, or think was a weed and rip it from the earth. So I continued to finger through the catalog until I come upon a packet of seed stapled securely in the center of catalog. I stared in surprise and was overjoyed.
A huge plate-sized sunflower was pictured on the packet. You'd a thought I found a two carat diamond.
Somebody is watching out for me and I think I like it.
