Nope, no taller than it is now but the bloom is growing larger by the day. Once the seeds within the bloom mature, I don't know if the stalk will be able to support it or not - we'll see I suppose! Ther'll be some happy critters around when the seeds mature, that's for sure

Ouuu ... Tenerife Lucky you!

OK ... the BIG Sunflower reveal Finally bloomed this past weekend. It didn't get much taller than the first shot I posted but it's at least a 10 footer! The sun was in the wrong place to get a decent shot of the flower so it's a little dark but the seeds are just forming so the birds and squirrels have not invaded it yet but ... the big bumble bee on the right side of the flower seems interested

Oh ... it's a surfing theme today is it? Nope!

Something to be generally aware of at this time of year also is that with changing of seasons, there are often new, unexpected triggers that will stir smokey thoughts within you. One of them may be at Thanksgiving. In Canada that comes around early-mid-Oct which isn't far off. Family gatherings are always a trigger as is the great food at that time of year. Other things you might not even connect to smoking like a walk in the woods checking out the changing colour of the leaves; it could be almost anything. If you're aware that may happen, you're less likely to have trouble getting through those times. Carry on and build that forever quit!

Sorry for your loss @Genecanuck. You've gone through some challenges this weekend for sure but your attitude toward keeping your quit above all else shows just how committed you are which is a great thing. All these trying experiences we go through successfully while quitting are the things that help strengthen our quit. Getting through those challenging times is an important part of all successful quits. Keep up the great work
