In the middle of nowhere...was a sunflower farm

The archaeology site for my dig is in Ohio. Way, way, way into the corn a soybean fields of Ohio. Everything seems the same. One old barn passes by, then another, and another. Some horses here and cows there, some goats occasionally.

As we were driving and the rows of crop flashed by the window, a magnificent expanse of sunflowers appeared. At least five or six acres of nothing but yellow sunflowers and their green stalks with a back splash of two old red barns and some farm equipment. I was put to shame, again. Though we may drive past fields and fields of corn, don't ever doubt that a meadow sunflowers certainly may appear.
