A hint of things to come …
CAT : as soon as I got my camera out the feline wouldn’t look at me any more, not even when I entreated in pleading tones. A hiss did the trick!

We love dahlias. Mary Beth digs the tubers up and over winters them in peat. They are lovely but none so much as the second you’ve shared.

Thanks Steve. I’m very happy you left the comment as I’d been unsure whether to post the lemon dahlia (due to the excessive brightness on the RHS of the flower) but you and Ellen Jennings have both liked it so I’m really glad I did!

I was surprised to spot the cat, it was sitting there so still and appearing to enjoy the autumn ambience!

Typical cat, hehe! The dahlias are lovely but it feels so strange to see them when we’re still at the start of spring!

I wish I could rewind to the start of spring and do a re-run instead of winter!

That’s how I feel at the start of every winter!
