there's a field by us. a sunflower field. close enough that we can walk to it.
it's the only place i've actually seen bees bathe in pollen.
they don't mind if you watch.
the baby sunflowers are my favorite. they seem so brave.
i wish you could walk there with me.
i know you'd love it. my parents did when i took them last week.
hundreds and hundreds of sunflowers. all of them watching us while we watched them.
a mutual love affair.
