The sun is setting in my garden.

I think the world needs to appreciate sunflowers just a little more. Sure, roses are beautiful and delicate and pretty smelling–I agree. But there is something about the sunflower that is just as enchanting. Maybe it is my secret love affair with the color yellow, particularly rich, bright, gold-like shades of it. Or maybe because in a secret past life I was some sort of sun worshiper with a garden full of them. Either way, I think sunflowers rock.
My mother in-law planted two of the giant monstrously huge sunflowers smack daub in the middle of our garden. They grew remarkably fast and bloomed as speedy as they grew. I am sad, however. It seems like as fast as they bloom, turning their little yellow cheery petals to the sun, they begin to whither and wilt.
One of the two is already stuck half way in permanent, cordial half bow to the rising sun, as if saying his good-byes at his final curtain call.

“One of the two is already stuck half way in permenant, cordial half bow to the rising sun, as if saying his good-byes at his final curtain call.” I LOVE that sentence! It describes how sunflowers droop, perfectly.
Thank you! I was just thinking that it’s exactly what it reminded me of.
