Miles and miles of golden green
where the sunflowers blow
in a solid glow. –Robert Browning
(from “A Lover’s Quarrel”)
The panorama postcard above was sent to me a couple of years ago (?) by Debbie T, one of my Wildflower friends. It was included in a package of gorgeous floral postcards featuring the work of artist Christopher Arndt, who developed a unique style of photo painting. From the postcard back:
The field of sunflowers blooms on a traditional small family farm in northern Wisconsin with a red barn in the background.
The card is part of his Door County, Wisconsin series. Another postcard from that series is featured in an earlier post. You can find and purchase his art by clicking the link above.
I thought I’d slip in this evening and write something beautiful to match Arndt’s gorgeous field of sunflowers. But, I gave this week all I had to give. I survived and gained a new appreciation for the phrase “Thank God it’s Friday (TGIF). Now, I just want to sit quietly with my thoughts until I succumb to sleep.
Until tomorrow…
This week I too felt the TGIF and am just exhausted. Have a good rest Chandra.

The weekend offered the soul rest I needed. I hope you were able to get some rest too! If not, I give you permission to tune out the rest of the world for a few moments and rest. 🙂

I did get some rest on the weekend and this week already feels like it is going to be full on, so am pacing myself and ensuring that I do exactly what you said, tune out the world for a few moments and rest. Have a good day Chandra.

I’m happy you managed to get some rest. I am beyond grateful I had a restful weekend, because things have been NONSTOP since…”Full on” is exactly what my week has been. Praying for both of us–for energy, strength, patience…
