The happiest of all flowers


Question: Can you find bliss in a flower?
Answer: Yes, especially if you are thinking Sunflowers!
I love everything about sunflowers, the color, textures and how their glorious faces follow the sun.
 You know, God's natural sundial that has amazing accuracy ! 
When I think of sunflowers it congers up thoughts of one of my favorite movies, Under the Tuscan Sun. I love the beauty of Tuscany,rolling fields full of brilliant sunflowers, cypress trees standing guard of those fields of yellow.  The way of life, where family and food are equally important!
The motley group of men that lovingly work to restore the villa purchased on a whim, though turned out to be the best investment she ever made. From that run down villa she gained new friends, passion for cooking for others, sharing food, wine and great stories. And, the love of her life! She gets it all in the end.
If you have not seen the movie you should, it will transform you in many ways.
I wish I could live that life in Tuscany at times. Just the thought is blissful.


Arrivederci ed abbia un giorno beato! (Goodbye and have a blissful day!)
