Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do. - Helen Keller
When I think of yellow, I always think of sunflowers.
When I think of sunflowers, I always think of ‘happy’.
When I think of ‘happy’…I always think of yellow sunflowers.
I am not completely biased though, I enjoy a happy hibiscus too.
What first comes to mind when you think of yellow?
lemonheads...
ReplyDeletelemons
blackeyed susans
bananas
the shape of stewies head on family guy
school buses
yeild signs
raincoats and rain boots
the sun
mustard
pencils
bees
busy bees

btw thank you for being so supportive...
Great post! I love the Helen Keller quote and your lovely sunflower photos. Sunflowers always make me smile. I pass a huge field of sunflowers in the fall on my way to work. It's a great way to start the day.
ReplyDeletemy father used to say the color yellow was an aphrodisiac. those make people happy!! or is it the other 'h' word?
ReplyDeletelove your pretty yellow flowers! i thought for sure you were going to make the girls dress in yellow for the first day of school though :)
ReplyDeleteI love sunflowers too! And you are right they make me think of happy. When I think of yellow I think of a brightly shining sun. Happy Monday Suz!
ReplyDeleteMy house is yellow, so that's the first thing that comes to my mind. I'll miss my little yellow house when I move. I'm going to a blue one, and although blue is my favorite color, blue houses are not. :(
ReplyDeleteI ALMOST pulled off the road the other day when I saw a little sunflower field. I just wanted to gaze and take photos. But since I didn't have my camera, I drove onward.
Love the sunflowers and the hibiscus is pretty too. I think of banana popsicles ~ my favorite flavor! Happy Monday Suzanne.
ReplyDeleteOh those are wonderful photos, and as a good busy bee your were right in the center of them, giggles I love your yellow color, so bright and cheery just what one needs on a Monday morning, loved your blog too my Florida Sister, I am from FL Jacksonville, moved to Georgia about 15 years ago, hugs my friend, have a very blessed day, Barbara from http://bakinnbitsbarbara.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteMorning, Sunshine! :D Yellow is my FAVORITE color! I remember the EXACT day I picked it. All the other girls liked pink and purple. I decided I wanted to be different.
ReplyDeleteI love that quote by Helen Keller. I had the same one posted for a while on my old blog.
Hope you have a fab Monday!
I usually think of daffodils and Spring when I think of yellow.
ReplyDeleteI really like your beautiful sunflowers. Thanks for a wonderful 'Yellow' post.
I love yellow, it is a very happy color to me. Guess that's why I painted our living and sunroom yellow...
ReplyDeleteoh sunflowers are such a perfect shade, but so is butter, lemons, my yellow glaze and the house around the corner, which luckily they repainted exactly the same shade yellow!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy a tall sunflower. We haven't had much luck with them over the years, but I remember at least one year where they towered over me. They are indeed good-time flowers.
ReplyDeleteProbably dandelions. We don't see a ton of sunflowers around here.
ReplyDeleteYELLOW! That's what my mother-in-law says when she answers the phone, so I often think of that when I hear the word yellow.
ReplyDeleteI cut her some slack these days tho....she turned 94 last week. :)
Happy Monday Suz!
Hi Suz, Beautiful pictures of your Sunflowers... They do look like sunshine!!!! Bet they are gorgeous in your yard. The hibiscus is pretty also....
ReplyDeleteHappy YELLOW Monday.

Betsy
Yellow is my color for creativity. It's a happy color, for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove that Helen Keller quote. Perfect.
Lemons,butter, and sunflowers but not always in that order!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful sunflowers. Are they yours??
<><
Man, I love your Sunflowers!! I bought some at the farmer's market in the spring and planted them and they were some weird dwarf type and were sooooo ugly. Yours are the way sunflowers are supposed to look. The Hibiscus shot is really lovely too!! Happy Day dear lady!!

ReplyDeleteFor me it is the sun....
ReplyDeleteThose sunflowers are gorgeous!
My house! My kitchen, dining and living room are painted yellow. Just a tad softer than your blog. We match! : )
ReplyDeleteI am right there with you on the sunflowers. We love growing them, how can you not be happy looking at them?
ReplyDeleteI love Helen Keller's quote!
Do we have to say goodbye to Summer, and hello to Fall? These pictures want me to hold on to Summer forever. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are so very pretty! Hmmm..yellow...sunshine!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteI think of lemons and sunlight... and happiness!
Yellow really is a happy color, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI think of many of the same things as C.
pee.
ReplyDeleteis that wrong?
LOL!
Suz,
ReplyDeleteI'm weird I guess, because yellow reminds me of the fall colors of all the trees where we used to live, well they were red and orange too, but alot of yellow. And the sun setting over the Adirondacks, the corn on the cob being harvested, more yellow....with my other favorite yellow....BUTTER! yummmmmmy......
my sister C and I used to go for walks and we would crunch through the leaves, or if we had to rake them in piles then me and my brother would jump in it and spread them all back out again!
OHHHH, and the color of the dead grass, it is like a yellow color.....see? this is my favorite time of year. FALL, when the weather is cooler, bundling up, getting ready for the holidays. ohhhh yeah.
though bees are cute, and flowers too, fall is by far my fave. have a good rest of the week suz!
I agree with you - - - happy! We had a regional library conference at our church a few years ago and decorated everything with sunflowers. We made bouquets with artificial sunflowers, wheat, and the straight stems that were a little thicker than wheat. It was quite beautiful.
