Another Birthday Card for the Fall Birthday Stash!
A SIDE NOTE:
There is a Farm up in RI I used to go buy my potatoes from,
Maplewood Farms…they had the BEST tasting potatoes!
Also in the Fall, when you drove by, they had planted in the front
fields, by the road side, their Sunflowers! This picture reminds me
of those times I drove by them or when I stopped in to purchase my
potatoes for the Fall and through the Winter! I would buy a 50lb. sack
for the rest of Fall and put the remains in the bottom drawer of my
refrigerator to make them last through the Winter!
One of the owners of the Farm, suggested I could do that, glad she did!
I do miss buying those yummy potatoes…
Until the next Post…Blessings and Fall Sights to you ALL!
Beautiful composition! Love that check behind your fun and textured sunflowers, and the touches of purple flowers really set everything off as well! So buttoned up! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
