Sunflowers symbolise loyalty, adoration thanks to
the myth of Clytie and Apollo. And, because of their
association with the sun, sunflowers are well-known
for being a happy flower and the perfect bloom for a
summer flower delivery to brighten someone's mood!
"The air up there in the clouds is very pure and fine,
bracing and delicious.
And why shouldn't it be?

How to pull a wheelie
Get the quad rolling low in the RPM range just below the power band (approx ¼ Throttle typically). Let off the throttle, and immediately open it back up and pull back on the handlebars. The front end will then lift.
Once the front tires are airborne, you will then have to make your initial throttle adjustments. This where wheelies are won or lost for the beginner. The idea is to get the front end up to balance point as quickly as possible, so stay in the throttle. As you approach the balance point, you can ease up on the gas, and once you are in the balance point you should be able to stay between ½ - ¼ throttle, making minor adjustments here and there. You do not want the front end dropping below the balance point, otherwise you have to apply more throttle to get it back up, and you may have to set the wheelie down if you run out of RPM’s, so conserve them as best you can. Also, always remember to keep that rear brake covered!
If you find that your engine speed is very high, you can slowly go back to the high end of the balance point, which will actually allow you to slow down a little bit.
Once you are ready to set the front end back down after a few miles or so, simply ensure that your bars are straight, slowly let off the throttle until the front wheels are only a foot or two off the ground, and then accelerate slightly for a smooth landing.
That’s pretty much all there is too it.

And there's a candle in the window, a flame against the night
The candle in the window, it's like God's perfect light
It don't take a lot of money to know what riches are
Just a candle in the window and Christmas in your heart.

Autumn can be glorious but menacing too - the long shadows,
brisk winds, scurrying leaves, impending frost.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
