This past week turned out to be more busy
than I thought it would be.
Peaches are in season, so made a peach pie,
oh so yummy.
No plans for our USA Labor Day weekend.
My son is helping a friend move,
so that is his big project. Weather is warm
and this is a good thing as my sister's
garden still have tomato's to ripen.
I tried a new card design layout. Kept it
more simple but yet it still holds some
style to the card. Fall is a fun season for
warm and bright colors.

The Sunflower has a neat history.
It was mainly produced by our
Native Americans for food and
medical purposes.
When travelors came from
Europe and other areas it is found
that Russia took on the farming of
this plant for its oil.
Even today many acres of sunflowers
are harvested for its oil properties.
Native Americans used the sunflower
to thicken stews made over the fire pit.
We enjoy the yummy taste of sunflower
seeds as a healthy snack.
Have a great day everyone,
sending hugs to all
