a "bit" of an outsider? For me it has always been 'You're not FROM here!' More than thirty years later it seems even more pronounced these days 😔

Probably heard about your party and showed up early to scope out a good parking spot 🥳

YES, to both. I am deeply grateful to live in a place with access to both, and grew up in several places similarly situated...

Today's daily dahlia drama 🌱
Looks like there might be a bloom after all, despite the 🐿️
A yellowish green dahlia bud hangs down from a purple stem after being toppled by squirrels. The purple petals are emerging in a more pinkish coloration. The green woodland is in the background.

Thankful Thursday 🌱
Starting to transition into Fall 🍁🍂
Dogwood trees along a gravel driveway beginning to show their Autumnal colors of orange and red. The ground is covered with brown fallen beech leaves.

Oh gosh, that was the hardest part when I moved across the country (again) after my Mother died...sending you all of the best wishes for a wonderful new garden wherever you end up! 🫶🏻

Daily dahlia delight 🌱
The squirrels toppled the stalk, I'm going to let it keep going and see if it blooms 🤷‍♀️
A yellowish green dahlia bud on a purple stem that has been toppled by the squirrels. Dark purple leaves are emeging, we'll see if it continues to bloom. The green woodland is in the background.

Wishing you a wonder filled Wednesday, Friends 🌱
#RoseWednesday
This peachy pink double bloom rose is fragrant and disease resistant, although a real favorite of deer, so I am deeply grateful to have these blooms. Bred in France in 2006 by Alain Meilland. 'Sweet Mademoiselle' is her name.

Most of mine failed in the flood and heat domes this summer. I moved this one to higher ground ( I tried grow bags this year) and it has just taken its sweet time...the blooms are well worth waiting for, though!

Today's Rose report 🌱
The petals were falling so I brought the last three blooms of double delight into the house to enjoy the last of their fragrance...
Three fading blooms of double delight roses, still fragrant.
