Sunflower maze open for wandering
Get yourself lost in a maze of 8-foot tall sunflowers and pick up some organic produce at a family farm near Brooksville.
Last year’s sunflower maze at Sweetfields Farm in Masaryktown was such a hit they are doing it again. It will be open on weekends through the end of May from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The price is $8.50 for adults, $4.40 for children 3 to 11, free for kids under 3. Maze passports are $12.75 for adults and $8.75 for children 3 to 11 and will allow the holder to visit any time while the maze is open. Cash only. There are no ATMs on the farm, and checks are not accepted.
For more information, go to their website or call (352) 279-0977. The farm, which also sells organic produce and plants and has a you-pick vegetable garden, is at 17250 Benes Roush Road, east of U.S. 41 and south of Ayers Road in Masaryktown.

THE AUTHORS
Sharon Kennedy Wynne has sunscreen in her blood. She may have been born in Buffalo but she got here as fast as she could, in time for kindergarten. She grew up in St. Petersburg, graduated from the University of Florida journalism school, and even got married at Sunken Gardens. She's one of the few adults we know who actually loves taking her kids to the beach. She has two sons and with 10 years of parenting under her belt, she's starting to feel a little less out of her league. She comes from a large family and loves to debate, so brace yourself when the hot topics come up.

Freelance writer Courtney Cairns Pastor wasn’t so sure about having kids and how she would balance child-rearing with her journalism career. It turned out that her journalism training went to good use. As the mom to a funny, active toddler, she learned to handle him like she did her sources. Never ask yes or no questions (the answer will always be no), get him to be specific (are you crying because you’re wet or your tooth hurts?) and be prepared for anything because no two days are the same. When she’s not playing trucks, Courtney crams for her book club, trains for races and occasionally bursts into showtunes. E-mail her at
