One last sunflower picture from me. The original was called "sunflower shrine," it's from some private garden I walked past one day in southeast Portland. I kinda liked the weird structures the flowers were growing around. It's not a very good picture, but look at all the sunflowers!
Vera Nazarian said, "Never look directly at the sun, instead look at the sunflower." But Edna Ferber said, "Big doesn't necessarily mean better. Sunflowers aren't better than violets." Wait, didn't Edna Ferber write a book called So Big? Hypocrite. Anyway. Let's not concentrate on what's bigger or better, let's just look at sunflowers. Which is what we did on this week's Self Help Radio.
There are no sunflowers out as I speak, they're all in seeds waiting to grow when the days get longer & warmer. I don't believe in magic spells but this show could be seen as a magic spell to hasten the days when the sunflowers dominate the gardens & tower over everything. I'll think of this show when that happens. Until then, I'll probably forget all about it.
Did you hear? If not, you can listen in two different places: at the KBOO website; & at Self Help Radio dot net. If you choose the latter, remember these two things: the username is SHR, the password is selfhelp. There are so many songs & so many things that happened on the show, you'll have to look below to see the details. But remember: don't lose the florist for the flowers!
