I spent my grade school years in Kansas City, so sunflowers and I go way, way back.
It’s refreshing and heartwarming to see the new gig that they’ve gotten as a symbol of Ukraine.
It’s good to see them available in the stores to brighten up our kitchens and homes.
Not that it would be easy to forget about what’s going on in Ukraine right now, but having these around to make it even harder.
I think when this is over and the spectacular Ukranian people are rebuilding their cities and their lives and needing some cash to do it, perhaps an influx of American tourists would help.
I’ll buy into that when the time comes. I love visiting Europe. Brussels. London. Prague is one of my favorite places on the entire planet. Time to see Kyiv in person, see the museums in Lviv, see the architecture in Odessa.
And I’ll also have to make sure to find a huge field of sunflowers under a bright blue sky to just stand in and soak up the beauty. (And the pollen.)
