The sunflowers started getting petals!
This is the one I planted in front of the house to let everybody know that Ukrainians live here.
We have a colibri who visits our house (there is an American word for colibri but I can never remember it). I got a very beautiful feeder for the colibri and filled it with sugary water. The colibri used to like the feeder but now that the sunflowers are in bloom, it prefers to feed from the sunflowers. N says it’s a good thing because the colibri pollinates them.
It’s so good to be home, people. N and I are so in love that even a week away from each other was excruciating. He cleaned the entire house top to bottom to distract himself from loneliness, poor fellow. If I traveled more often, we’d have the cleanest place in the region.

Hummingbirds? I saw one in my backyard just the other day! They make me smile 🙂 Glad you are home safe again. I enjoyed reading about your trip.

Yes, exactly, that’s the word. I’m still jet-lagged so words escape me. 🙂

Hummingbirds! 😀
Also, just to point this out–you accidentally said that “even a week together was excruciating.”

Jetlag is so horrible. I feel like I’m half asleep.

Your sunflower is lovely, it’s delightful that this is a symbol for Ukraine! I’m so glad the rabbits didn’t get it. I wish I had hummingbirds visiting my garden.
Sunflowers aren’t easy to grow where here, snails and slugs eat them before they get very big and I won’t put down slug poison because that can kill anything that eats the slugs, like hedgehogs.

Killing a hedgehog would be a horrible thing to do! So I’m very glad you are avoiding the slug poison. 🙂
