Well folks, we finally have a REAL mammoth sunflower.
Nope, a survivor who grew tall despite our drought and heat.
Miles is pumped.
And Ella is too, but she refused to go on the other side of the fence and take a picture to prove it.
So I tried to get them to kiss through the fence, like they do sometimes when Ella's in her crib, and this is what I got...
Uncooperative little nerds.
{Cue the bugle playing Taps for these next photos...}
Even taking photos in pretty lighting (per last weeks assignment) can't help this reality.
But, just so you don't feel too sorry for us, please join me in welcoming to the great state of Oklahoma...
a "strong cold front".
Please excuse me while I got watch for it out the window.
And plan a party.

WOOHOO!!!!! Happy dance for the cooler weather!! You more than deserve it. You have had an unbelievable summer!
Totally snorted when I got to the "kiss" pic. HA!
Oooh, I feel your pain! Up here in Kansas we will be at or near 100 most of the week!
My kids love to grow unusual foods in the garden and then take them to their friends or to school and share. No one believes them when they mention that they grew purple carrots and striped tomtoes!
Hopefully the cold front will allow you get some falls things planted!
Ah, Faith, you make me laugh! Priceless picture of your kids through the fence, LOL! Blackmail material too, maybe.
And again, it's so fascinating to me how our gardens play out in different parts of our country. YAY cooler weather for you (but not for us).
ooh, we are hot here too and I am looking forward to ANYTHING under 95 degrees!
PS - I am so glad you got 1 sunflower- that is all we got this year too =)
OK...if our weather report was like yours it would say a heat wave was headed our way! I think we've only gotten in the 90's 2x this year. We have hung out in the upper 60's and 70's most of the summer!
LOVE your tenacious sunflower and of course your hilarious kiddos...that photo of them at the fence is a perfect snapshot of siblings that age!
I'm so sorry for the loss of most of your garden...but the light in those photos is wonderful! Kim
recognized your kiddos on pinterest the other day...and followed the links to ohdeedoh! rock on, girl!
