i don't always have it….really i don't.
but this day i stopped and debated but threw it in my purse last second.
and look what i found just driving along.
i am 5'7" so i thought i would show you how tall these flowers are…
i was wearing a shirt…i promise.
and i did get my hair cut and colored since you've seen me last.
but stop looking at me…LOOK AT THOSE 6 FOOT TALL FLOWERS!!
so awesome.
i wanted to cut them down and sneak away with armfuls of sunflowers.
can't you imagine me wearing a big poofy skirt running through a corn field
with loads of sunflowers in my arms?
***********************************************************************************************************************
i am off to the post office to ship every Etsy order i got…except amy jupin's.
i still need to make your gumball tee.
then i will ship yours too.
happy monday.
donna - I have a friend (Sundrenched Moments) that sent me this blog of yours last year because she knew I love, love, love sunflowers. I go to it often to get a sunflower fix. Earlier this months I had the opportunity to go to Topeka for work and I asked where I could see some sunflowers. I was told to go west to Junction City and I should see some. I didn’t see any! I want to see a field where you see sunflowers that go on forever. If I have the opportunity next year to go back can you suggest to me where I can see a field of them?~donna
Amy @ Living a Blessed Life - Just found your blog from a new friend’s sight. So glad she linked to yours. Your photos are incredible!!! You sure have a gift with the lens. I gave my husband the link as he loves photography as well and loves to learn from others’ perspective.
Sweet blessings,
Amy in OR
Jodi - I absolutely love your photos, you are so talented~!! Your blog and photography is delightful!
Elisa - The thought of you running through the sunflowers topless brought a smile to my face 🙂
But seriously- those pictures rocked! Great job!
Sarah - Oh wow! They are gorgeous. I live in the city and would have to drive far, far away to see something like that, if it even exists in VA. I have never had a desire to visit the Midwest until reading your blog. The fields are beautiful. Can’t get that on the East Coast.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Magchunk - Just want to tell you how much I looooove your blog. I seriously just read the whole thing in only a few days, laughed out loud, cried (I’m as bad as you on the weepy thing), and printed out many recipes. And I made my man read (ok, he only made it a few months, but he usually reads techy blogs, so it was a start) and he’s obsessed with Waffle.
Would you do me a huge favor and email me (maggie {at} magchunk.com)? I would love to do a little Q&A on my blog, magchunk.com.

Genn Hass - Hi Meg. I happened upon your blog through a friend’s blog (Definitely, Maybe). I love to read yours and look at your amazing photography, and I just wanted to let you know.
