It was quite the pleasant surprise. Sunflower fields are hard to come by around here &#8211; I think this was a corn field the year before. The beautiful long weekend has come and gone  and it was a seriously awesome one. We must have gone through three tanks of gas driving all over the Southwestern Ontario countryside. (I used to think that I was a half-rural, half-city girl but I&#8217;ve been erring more on the rural side as of late. The countryside is just amazing.) We&#8217;re back to the grind tomorrow but am very much looking forward to it. There are a ton of exciting projects in the funnel that I can&#8217;t wait to get my hands on. <\/p>\n<p>On a final note, I am absolutely hooked on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2372162\/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange is the New Black<\/a> and just finished the first season with one of the most intense finales I&#8217;ve ever seen. The second season isn&#8217;t airing until 2014 and that just gives me anxiety. I can&#8217;t wait that long! It&#8217;s a fabulous show &#8211; check it out on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/08.05.13.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/64.91.231.52\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/08.05.13.jpg\" alt=\"sunflower field sunflower seed\" width=\"810\" height=\"540\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-14143\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/08.05.13.jpg 810w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/08.05.13-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sunshine and Sunflowers. - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/sunflowers-august-5-2013\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Sunshine and Sunflowers. - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"I&#8217;ll have to dedicate this post to my friend Sarah because she loves sunflower fields and Chris and I stumbled upon one on our aimless road trip on Saturday.
