A Gazillion Seeds
"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap,
but by the seeds that you plant."
Robert Louis Stevenson
What a treasure trove of seeds! The squirrels in my neighborhood have been especially happy that I planted sunflowers this year. I've watched the stems swaying to and fro before the plants crash to the ground with a squirrel attached to the stem.
It has made me smile to watch the critters scamper off to plant the seeds for a later lunch. My goal for next year? More sunflowers!
Check this link out if you've ever wondered how to see the Fibonacci number of sunflower seed spirals. It's fascinating!
