rainy dahlia

Thanks to everyone for comments, faves and general encouragement yesterday, it really was like having a birthday. I haven't caught up properly yet, hope to tomorrow. 
Big day today as we drove sparkling white nearlynew car home. Very happy with it, though first drives in new cars always a bit stressful and glad to get it home in one piece. 
Rest of day spent in domestic chores and watching US Open. Delighted to see real rain and plenty of it today.
