Shining bright

Despite the weather worsening as the day went on this sunflower decided today was the day to come into flower! It is one of a few sunflower plants that are making a late dash to flower before it's too late, I have no idea why they suddenly appeared at the beginning of September in the middle of a grass area!

We managed to get a few gardening and chicken field jobs completed before the rain arrived in earnest. The extra shows what remains of some the figs we collected from our tree today, they are very yummy and we were surprised they were ripe to eat as usually they aren't edible :-)
