| This is a photo Bobby took years ago! |
Bobby used to stop right along the side of the road and start snapping photos of a field of sunflowers. And to tell you the truth I have started doing the same thing.
 |
| I plant the sunflowers along this fence-line! |
As the summer progresses I will be sure to post pictures of the sunflowers!
Cameron was very helpful in watering the flowers!

| This sunflower is from my Grandma Garner's garden (other side of the family)! |
My love for gardening probably came from my grandma Garner who was born with a green thumb.
Happy Planting!

Three Times Lucky
By: Sheila Turnage
5 Stars
At 10am I opened “Three Times Lucky” by Sheila Turnage, and by 4pm that same day I closed “Three Times Lucky”. And this may sound bad that I am closing the book so soon, but it’s not. I couldn’t put it down for the life of me! Turnage created a town and family of sorts in Tupela Landing, a town only 2 blocks long, but with a story a nations worth.
I’m not sure were to start with this review. The story goes through sort of a maze of side stories to come up with it’s final resting place. Each person in Tupela Landing has a story to tell, but they don’t seem to know it themselves. I know, I know, I’m confusing you already. But I love it when a mystery of tales all come together to create an incredible ending.
Usually when I read of small towns in a book, I get a feeling of naiveness, but Tupela was far from naive. Turnage did a superb job of creating a closeness, and love for each and everything in life, and especially in Tupela Landing.
And once again you have no idea what this story is about. But, let me see! It’s a child’s novel, written for about 10-12 year olds, but most definitely suited for teens, and adults. It’s a mystery, and a story of loss, and love.
When trying to think how to describe it I keep coming up with “Because of Winn-Dixie”, and “Moon Over Manifest” in my mind. The stories run along the same lines, but are all great in their own way.
Turnage caught my attention, and I hope she catches yours as well!

I love the story behind your love of sunflowers. I can't wait to see how they grow! I feel the same way about violets, my mom's mom LOVED them, every time I see them I think of her. I love the photo that your grandfather took, such a neat love to pass on to Cameron. xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe will have to have you guys over this summer so you can see them bloom!
