sunflowers

when i moved in in the beginning of august they were giant happy sunflowers smiling at me through my bedroom window.

now they hang their heads heavy with seed, a few remaining yellow petals drift slowly to the ground as if to say i'm thirsty.

sadly my neighbors whose property they live on rarely water them and they sky has been dry for weeks.

i am waiting for the birds to come and feast on their seeds when ripened.  soon.  very soon.

  1. Hi Karen, It is Holly, we met in San Fran in 2005. I watch your blog daily. Remember when I emailed you that I felt like you were a daugher? I now know why, my oldest is now 36. I still feel close. Love, Holly
