Flowers from a Farmer

His name is Thomas. He is my new buddy. He is the farmer who lives on the hill above my apartment. He yodels and plays the alpen horn. To me he his the typical hard working Swiss farmer. I have been waving at him on my walks while he works in his fields for over a year. The other day he asked me if I would like some sunflowers. He asked my house number and told me he would bring me flowers and drove away. Then for a week he never brought flowers. I was sure I mis-understood him and just randomly gave him my house number when really he was just telling me that I could go pick flowers from his sunflower field. Then today he showed up with a huge bouquet carefully arranged and tied sunflowers. We had a nice chat and he told me his first name. Then he told me he liked my dog and that both my dog and I were very friendly. I think I will make him cookies. :)
