This field of sunflowers is just across from Matenje's football pitch. We didn't notice it until the bush that was hiding it was slashed. I slashed our grass in the back yard with a slasher I borrowed from the school. A slasher is a knee-high metal blade with a plastic handle. It has a 45 degree curve at the end, and its edges can be sharpened like a hockey skate. I practice my golf swing with the slasher while slashing grass. That's my slasher story that began with a story about sunflowers. They will be harvested to make oil. Eating the seeds as a snack is a foreign concept.
