I have a very crazy week this week getting ready for my sale this Saturday. A dahlia in my backyard decided to FINALLY bloom just before Halloween (it had not bloomed all summer).
It is a huge dahlia, about the size of my hand and a gorgeous salmon color. I pass it as I scurry back to my studio...it reminds me to slow down and take a deep breath and do something special for myself and not just work, work, work. I need that this week.
Take the time to do something special for yourself this week....slow down and smell the flowers.
Laurie, it is most important to take a few minutes for yourself every day and just breathe.

So gorgeous! I love that color. This year I still have tomatoes on the vine... and it's November! This may be end of it--expecting rain this weekend.
Hugs,
Jill

Crazy year for the gardens. Do you store your dahlia tubers? I do - I just pull them up, store in a pot, and winter over in the basement!
I took a break yesterday - I raked leaves (for the exercise)!
