Dahlia . .

blowing  beautifully. These gorgeous flowers are still blooming, gifting fine colours in the early autumn.
We've had another lovely day out to a huge Garden Centre - such amazing places with almost everything one could want for gardens - and a lot of 'stuff' for their houses as well.  Christmas is coming according to the 'stuff' we saw today! Aaaaaargh!  
The birds will be happy as we acquired a 20 kg bag of food to fill up all the feeders.  I'm hoping the woodpecker comes close so I might see him/photograph him.
This afternoon we have been doing more garden work - but now the sun has disappeared so we are back inside!
