Sunflowers via NYC


One of the gifts of our trip to Africa was meeting Shirley and Dennis, a very interesting couple from New York. Tales of horse racing, flying helicopters, and life in the Big Apple fascinated us as we sipped drinks and watched the setting sun during sundowners at the end of each day of wildlife viewing in the bush.

They sent us sunflower seeds from their garden (not NYC, but their summer home) which I started indoors and are now placed next to the artichokes in the raised bed near the goat pen. So far, they look good. Here they are in my sketchbook when they were just getting started.
