Me! :) December 15h, 2007 :) a very special day, and time :) it was the day we rocked it, with some fun shopping at the supercenter, and the big mall :) i hadn't been in the mall, in about 15 years, and i remember everyone being there with me in spirit :) this is one of my proudest moments shared over the years here on DS :) i remember going from, super shy, social anxiety, and not going out much ,and here i was, in the mall, during Christmas time! :) it was spirit soaring! :) 
Mr. Cool Sunflower! :) a cool friend i helped grow in the 2007 gardening season, the first garden season i got to share, here on DS :) i remember being outside one day, and i had my iced coffee with me, and thought it would be great to put the sunglasses on the sunflower :) The legend of Mr. Cool Sunflower was born! :)

I always enjoy your nature pictures, and who can't help but smile at Mr. Cool Sunflower. : ) So glad that we met and have been friends for many of the years you've been here!
