The Sunflower Fields, Autaugaville, AL

This morning we went in search of one of the most well-known sunflower fields in the south, The Sunflower Field, located in Autaugaville, AL, not too far from Montgomery.  My Grandma, who sadly passed away about two months ago, loved sunflowers.  Her entire kitchen was a sunflower theme.  I felt like she was with us this morning as we walked through the field.

After wandering the field, we purchased a souvenir bucket and cut our own sunflowers to fill it.  We had driven the Fiat and so our bucket of flowers had to ride home in my lap.

It was a great mini-road trip and since we had gotten up early, we were home in time for lunch and time to relax before fireworks tonight.  We also missed the worst of the heat (and any storms that may come this afternoon).
