I don't have a window in my office, I am mostly surrounded by cinder block. Sometimes that's good (like when it's snowing -- I don't have to look at it all day) and sometimes that's bad (like in the summer when the sun in shining -- I can't soak up the sun).

A friend gave me some sunflower seeds from a small sunflower bush I admired in her yard last fall. She gave me a lot more than I could use, so I spread the sunshine & shared them with co-workers.

One of those co-workers just returned a little of that sunshine to my desk. Check them out. Just looking at them makes me happy (I don't need no stinkin' window). The hand-sized sunflowers are from the bush seeds I gave away...and, then, he added a few more flowers from his garden -- like the little yellow ones at the top and the striped ones at the bottom (and..you can't see them in this photo, but there are some orange sunflower-looking flowers in here, too).
