Sunflowers at Buttonwood Farms

Wow!  It's been a while since I've put something on the blog.  We're back from Arizona and I still have some stuff to put up here from Arizona, and I'll get to that,  put I'll do a post about our outing yesterday so I don't get even further behind.

One of our favorite places for ice cream is Buttonwood Farm in Griswold,  CT.  Every July they plant a ton of sunflowers. It's gorgeous!  They sell bouquets and give all the profits to The Make a Wish Foundation. We got there early and it was already packed.  We walked through the sunflowers, but skipped the hayride.  Luckily the ice cream line was really short so we had ice cream at 10:30am. That's okay,  right?  A friend of ours went in the afternoon and said the ice cream line was a mile long so I'm glad we went when we did!   Kathryn wasn't cooperative with pictures unfortunately. Maybe next year will be better.  As much as I detest living in Connecticut sometimes,  I really do love all the unique things to do and the beautiful scenery.
