This blog is created to document 61 days of a summer in Lawrence, KS. It is a town that is usually crowded with crazy KU students but once summer hits and the masses at Daisy Hill move out--things get infinitely better. The townies reemerge, the sun shines early at the Farmer's Market, and its even possible to find a seat at Wheatfield's before ten o'clock on a Sunday.
I walk without flinching through the burning cathedral of the summer. My bank of wild grass is majestic and full of music. It is a fire that solitude presses against my lips.

(41) Days of Summer
This is what happens when you accidentally show up an hour early to parties that are in the middle of the country--you find beautiful sunflower fields.
Luckily my friend Josh, who graciously drove me to this party, had his camera as well. You don't feel more like a Kansan than when you're standing in a field of sunflowers.
You've got a good eye!
