Even on a rainy day, a field of sunflowers offers relentless cheer.
The gray skies make the sunflowers seem even brighter, ultra-saturated in yolky yellowness. On the early-summer day of our visit to Durr Farms in Chesterfield, we need cardigans and umbrellas, but we bask in the warmth of that golden color, and we feel like singing in the rain. The flowers seem pleased to see us, too, as they nod and sway in the cool breeze, humming a happy-plant song. Forget your troubles, come on, get happy, you better chase all your cares away…
