We are going to plant some sunflowers this year. We haven’t had sunflowers the whole time we have been here in Saskatchewan. Eventually we will harvest the sunflowers for the seeds and keep them for some bunny snacks. Fun fact: the oils from sunflower seeds help a rabbits fur stay soft and silky.

We didn’t have any creamcheese by the time the bagels where done, but they are pretty good with butter too.
