Snubbed by Sunflowers


My parents spent eighteen months in Hungary and sent us beautiful photos of the sunflower fields there. I thought I'd grow a big bed of these cheerful flowers in the garden this year. But my planning was faulty---all the flowers face the rising sun in the East, toward the hedge at the back of the bed. They all have their backs turned toward us. I feel rather snubbed.
