Nothin' But Yellow!
Yesterday, Saturday, I went to work at 7:00 a.m. and stopped for the day at 4:00 p.m. Daughter, a.k.a. Tex, (not TexWisGirl, just Tex) came down to help. To add to the short staff in our office, our newest clerk's brother passed away and she will be off work Monday and Tuesday, our nightmare days! So, Tex was kind enough to pitch in. I'm still way behind, so will be heading off to work as soon as I finish this post. I'm only staying 3 or 4 hours though. Really, that's all!
The Democratic party has picked a successor for the office, but he won't start until the 11th. He will be green as grass as to the duties, but I'm sure he will quickly adjust.
Friday night we went down to the garden to pick tomatoes, zucchini, acorn squash, and okra. We also pulled up a few radishes. I use the term 'we' loosely. JD, a.k.a. Hubs (daughter doesn't like the word Hubs, so from now on he will be JD. JD is an inside joke, which I may explain later. No time today) JD did most of the picking while I wondered around with my camera. Well, I did pick the okra.
The Gold Finches were out in force. Enjoying SIL's sunflowers.
Above is one of my sunflowers. It is only about 4 inches from tip of petal to tip of petal. Not sure the variety, but they are pretty.
Now back to SIL's. Beautiful, huge..
...and stately.

Next best thing about sunflowers, with the best thing being their happy beautiful flowers faces, is that the birds love them too!
I love the gorgeous sunflowers, so pretty and pretty. And the goldfinches look cute pecking at the sunflower seeds.. Great shots. Enjoy your Sunday!
Gotta love how the goldfinches enjoy sunflowers. Hope you really do stay at the office for 3 or 4 hours...and no more. ;)
love the sunflowers - and jealous you get the goldies wearing their summer suits. :)
hoping your work begins to ease a bit by mid-aug!
I love sunflower fields, but we don't have them here.
Sunflowers always bring a smile to my brain and face...just love seeing them. Any time. any where.
I enjoyed these gorgeous and cheerful sunflowers and goldfinches.
So bright and sunny- gorgeous sunflowers.
These sunflowers are gorgeous! And the goldfinch matches them. What amazing pictures! So you have a family business? Can I ask what it is?
Love the sunflowers and the matching birds. lol I planted sunflowers this year. Tall ones and small ones both. Love 'em.

Gorgeous! Sunflowers make me happy.
Love, love, LOVE this post! And such wonderful images. All warm, glowing and bright summer yellows.
The Goldfinch is such a fabulous added attraction. I've only seen ONE in my area, so a bit green with envy here!!
Thanks for linking up this week at the Bird D'Pot.
...had to show Bud...and now I'm trying to convince him to plant some sunflowers. I want what you saw. ;-)
Sunflowers and Goldfinches - it doesn't get much more summer than that! :)
