This is a weather report from Cape Cod, Mass. dated July 14, 1957.
The skies are overcast and it looks like a storm is brewing, the winds are whipping up, no chance of sun today. It would be a good day to just look out of the window, but we're going outside the window regardless, we will go down to the ocean and see what mother nature is up to.We were honeymooning at the Cape that year, the weather was stormy, it was a Sunday and at that time Massachusetts had strict Blue Laws, the only store that was open that day was a drug store ( that's what they called them in those days,) there was no such thing as CVS or Walgreens.
As soon as I walked in the store I spied a large framed print of Van Gogh's Sun Flowers, it was love at first sight, bought it, brought it home and hung it in our living room where we enjoyed it for many years.
That's how I got hooked on sunflowers!
