Family pride





One of the joys of marrying into Hubby's family is the delightful assortment of personalities that came with it. Hubby has one slightly eccentric uncle who loves to give unusual gifts at Christmas time. This year we received a package of seeds. Sunflower seeds to be exact. With the call to competition...and family bragging rights.

When I opened the package this spring, two things became apparent. One, this package of seeds is old. Like found in the back of the first ever dollar store old. The second was that every seed in my package was crushed, except for one.

Behold my sunflower that stands approx. 10 feet tall, with one glorious bloom!

Let the bragging begin!
