Sibling Writing Assignment #33: Still Life After a Dry Period

I gave the sibling assignment this week.
We were to use the topic Still Life
with words and pictures.
Raymond Pert's is here and Silver Valley Girl's is here.
With the weather conditions we have experienced
in August I am surprised I still have life in the gardens.
Lack of water, dry winds, warm nights,
and hundred degree afternoons
have challenged all our plants,
but these sunflowers came out victorious.When the rains, cooler breezes, and lower evening
temperatures came, these beautiful flowers lifted
their faces to heaven and smiled.
