The race for Sunflower Supremacy continues and after a few early glitches – the two young ones saw sprouts before anyone else – all the seeds are up and growing now. It’s been great watching the kids remind themselves to water and pamper their pots, eagerly waiting for some sign of life to emerge.

While things are going well now, we’re all about to face the biggest challenge in 5 days time. We’re going on holidays for about 2 weeks, camping throughout the south of our state.

And while the weather’s still working itself out, we’re praying for rain here (for our sunflowers) and dry weather for our camping. Is that possible? I certainly hope so, because these kids are praying up a storm!
