Thought I would put a happy face on this one.

The Sunflower House-July





These pictures were taken in mid July. Still no blooms on the sunflowers and I strung string across for the morning glories to grow to make the roof. We measured the tallest sunflower and it is 11 feet 8 inches. I'm standing in front to show you how tall it has become.

The Sunflower House-Early June




These next pictures were taken in early June. The yellow chair inside shows how big the sunflowers are getting. The morning glories are climbing up the sunflowers but are not across the tops of them.

The Sunflower House-May


I have always wanted to make a Sunflower House. So since I have become a grandma this year I thought that I would practice making one. So when my granddaughters become old enough we would have lots of garden tea parties in the Sunflower House. I'm looking for a child's table and chairs to put inside. Haven't found one yet--but I still have plenty of time to find one. This Sunflower House was started in April 2008. This spot was once a shade house but the fires of 2007 destroyed it but the foundation is still there.
