Missouri "wild sunflowers"

For the past few weeks we have been traveling a 162 mile one way trip east on hwy 36 across the great state of Missouri, you can get kinda bored just looken' for something new along the way that you think maybe you haven't seen more than once, but the other day on the run I finally noticed that for miles and miles and miles there are sunflowers.
At first I thought maybe these golden beauties were black-eyed susans, but on good authority was told they are indeed wild sunflowers. Also the golden rods are in full bloom, my dad, Amos Keesee always told me at home when the (ragweed) bloomed down the lane going into the oldriver, that it would be only six more weeks until first frost, and usually old Amos was right, come six weeks later and there would be frost on the ground. It's such amazing beauty with the rolling hills, the fields of corn, and the green grass.........then all these yellow dots along the way. makes me believe God is a great decorator.
