I'll be out of town next week so yesterday I headed up to Buttonwood Farms in Griswold for a sneak peek of "Sunflowers for Wishes". The owners of Buttonwood Farms plant 10 acres of sunflowers each year providing 300,000 blooms framed by blue skies and stone walls. The sky wasn't so blue due to the heat and humidity and it was a little early for the big show but I still enjoyed the view and snapped a few photos. You'll find them on my Flickr page along with some photos I've taken in the past. Bouquets of cut sunflowers will be available all next week in exchange for a $5.00 donation to the Make-A-Wish foundation. People and their cameras show up from all over the state to visit and also enjoy the farm fresh homemade ice cream sold there.  | | | |
