Today, Greg and I braved the weather and made our way down
to Griswold, Connecticut, to Buttonwood Farms to see the sunflowers. We had to go today because tomorrow we are
leaving for Ohio to visit relatives and when we get back, the sunflowers are
going to be cattle food.
On the way down to Connecticut, we went through
North Grosvenordale and saw this very beautiful, old mill tower that was built
in 1872.
A little further down the road, I saw the bumper
sticker of the day: “Driver may be
singing. Exercise caution.” Good advice, especially if I am driving and singing!
Once we got to Buttonwood Farms, it started
raining really hard so we had to sit for a while and wait. Then once it let up, we decided that going on
the hayride was a smart thing to do just in case it started to rain again and
here’s what we saw along the way:
And aren't these kids adorable?
Life being short, we had dessert
first. Mine was Sunflower Ice Cream,
which contained caramel swirls, sunflower seeds, honey and some kind of crunchy
almond confection. Yum!
Then we met this distinguished fellow:
On the way home, I noticed this sign at one of
our regular restaurants. They have it
right! It's what's necessary in a summer like this.
I may see you along the way while we are in Ohio. If not, take it easy!

I literally gasped when I scrolled down and saw that field of sunflowers. Wow! What a treat to see this.
My husband says he worries about me when I'm driving with the radio on--says I don't pay enough attention because I'm too busy singing. But I'm careful!
