Brownie Points!!!

Well, if you recall my posting from 17 Aug, you will have noticed that I missed a prime opportunity to score some "Brownie Points" with the wife. And as my friends have pointed out several times, brownie points are highly perishable so you have to keep accumulating them on a regular basis.

So after my "boys only" weekend at a friend's "Hytte" (cabin), I thought it best to do what I should have done the first time we passed the "self-pick" field of sunflowers.

Here are the official greeters to the farm....



And the Norwegian sign that welcomes you to the place. Basically it tells you that the sunflowers are about 1 buck a piece, gives you some helpful hints on picking, how to care for them and "To have a nice day!"



Aha, the first victim....



And here they are looking ever so lovely in their new home...Ronaldo looks, he shoots, he scores...Brownie Points in the bag.

Those sunflowers look great and brownie points awarded, and maybe even a few extra since the 3 macho guys were out in the field picking sunflowers with you. That would have been a valuable photo
