in the life of a Sunflower
On Crooked Creek !

| Dried Giant Yellow Sunflower Head from the Sunflower Patch On Crooked Creek! |
What began as a seed,
planted by "Mr. Ed" in the Sunflower Patch,
grew despite the severe drough on the Prairie,
and now is dried and ready to be harvested for next years crop !
I have one more use for this dried Sunflower head. . .

A Sunflower cloche !
Seeing these last year in the Land of Blog,
I vowed to try to make one for Fall
this year On Crooked Creek !
When "Mr. Ed" took me out to the garage,
I was giddy with excitement at the sight of the drying heads!
On Crooked Creek,
the life of this Sunflower
is coming full circle!
Until next time. . .

This looks great, and I am going to file the idea away in my head for next fall, as I have used all this year's sunflower heads!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, Pat! I love Sunflowers and never would have thought to do this! Love your cloche!

It looks wonderful, and so perfect for your sunflower theme!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! We usually grow sunflowers,but this year I wasn't able to get my garden rototilled. I miss them in decorating, and setting the heads out between our fence pickets for the birds.

Very cool! It is a little miracle isn't it? SO pretty in your cloche! So glad you liked my sea side post.
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat idea, Pat...are you going to put some of those seeds out for the birds, too?
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific. I like to use natural objects in decor. ;-)
