Minnesota Sunshine

hand-carved sunflower
March 2021

I received a surprise package in my mailbox last week: some Minnesota sunshine in the form of a wooden sunflower, carved by FarGuy (Gene H.), and painted by both FarGuy and FarSide (Connie H.)  Connie and I have been blog friends for several years.

Both Connie and Gene are carvers and create over 100 hand-carved Christmas ornaments for their family and friends every year. Sometimes, she will host a contest with one of the ornaments being the prize. 

In 2018, I won a contest Connie hosted on her blog, and my prize was a tiny house she had carved. It's a treasure as is this gorgeous sunflower Gene and she created.  

Thank you Gene and Connie for this special gift and for your online friendship.
