Do you remember these little guys? We started them inside in the early spring and transplanted them outside. The package said they’d grow to be 12ft tall! We intentionally planted them far from the vegetables in the garden so their massive height wouldn’t block sunlight.
They are full grown and beautiful!
I am so glad I planned ahead on planting them far from the garden. It would have been a shame if their massive 12ft height blocked the sun…
Evidently the stunted growth that runs in this family is not limited to humans…
And on a side note…I am going to be away from the internet this week, so if you email or comment just know I won’t be answering it until next week. However, you won’t miss me much. The good ole’ blog is scheduled to post everyday. I think some of you have the assumption that each day I find time to sit down and write a blog post. The reality is I try to write a couple at a time after the boys go to bed (I am so used to saying “the boys”…what do I say now?). Chris took this pic of me as I was writing a few of the posts for this week…it is one of the few times you will see my hair down – notice the rubber band on my wrist for a quick ponytail. After one of my clients/friends (S.V.) stopped by this week with a new haircut, I am thinking about cutting mine off. Her’s looked so great…

jasie - don’t cut your hair! i love it. i wish my hair were as pretty as yours. on a floral note, we planted a ton of flowers last fall and i’ve had three bloom at different times this summer. i definitely do NOT have a green thumb!
PamperingBeki - Ha! Those sunflowers are hilarious.
I planted some this year and only one bloomed. Yep, one sad lonely sunflower.

amanda - My hair is always tied back and my husband wonders why I don’t cut my hair more often. When I do get my hair cut I send the pony tail to Locks of Love: http://www.locksoflove.org/. Check with your local hair cutters, some give free hair cuts if you’re donating your hair.
jenny collier - good idea with the scheduled posting. i might have to do the same!
sharon - Love your photos. You’re so talented and I love reading your blog
bopha - I’m glad that we won’t be missing the daily blogging presence. The sunflowers may not have been massive but they made for a good pic with Rett.
