What’s cooler than hanging out with Nikita? Uploaded 9 months ago by Annette Bright My daughter called to tell us there was a beautiful crop of sunflowers just outside Lawrence. My husband and I drove to a wonderful show of acres of sunflowers along Route 24/40. Who would have guessed that while the corn and soybeans are shriveling in the dry heat, sunflowers were totally happy with it. And more good news, there was at least one honey bee in every one of the blossoms. The farmer’s wife had posted a sign by the road inviting folks to pick some sunflowers and leave $1.00 in a locked metal box for each blossom picked.
