NOT a Sunflower Seed�

2001-09-21

I actually got a fair amount of work done last night before the start of our game. I cut back the morning glories outside the front gate. They were attempting to get to the roof, which they would have covered in no time. It would have been a pretty sight while it lasted, but getting them off the roof after they die at the end of the season would have been a whole �nother story.

I pulled up all of the sunflowers out front that have gone to seed. I saved the seed heads, some for me, some for the birds. I�m going to have a FOREST of sunflowers next year. Definitely no more big ones in pots, though, the pots fall over any time there�s the slightest bit of wind.

I found a bug (beetle?) in among the sunflower seeds that looked a little like a sunflower seed himself. Photo to follow, I hope, if they turned out OK. He was about the same size and a similar color to the seeds. He took exception to me trying to pry him out of the seed head. Can�t say that I blame him.
