Yay happy place!
Cute kids… uh… you and the missus.

When you’re dropping off your “friend”?

Dahlias and mums? Together in one bed? Yes, but it’s absolute chaos. Plus, the GM lets the mums romp however they wish. And they both overwinter in the ground. That saves me.

Ours have started too. Color to carry us thru the winter.

🤣
If I find one, I’ll let you know.

Steve Nellis @snellis.bsky.social · 19h

Aren’t they!
Yeah… I’m taking them out too. Replanting elsewhere.
Making this chaos bed a proper rose bed. Whatever that is…

Thank you for your sacrifice.

Sampling the gin.
Sampling the vodka to decide if you want to do quince that up too.
Cleansing the palate with tequila.
Resampling the gin.
Pint of lager…

What could go wrong? Or right?

Steve Nellis @snellis.bsky.social · 19h

Oh yes. Lovely. And appropriate for my breakfast too.

Love calendulas. Didn’t plant any this year. But the mums? Glowing as if radioactive.

Yes! They conspire!
They send you catalogs and web sites that are nothing but thirst traps… that have you searching madly for more. Desire and madness intertwined.

Uh… pretty flower.

To remind you to plant them next year?

The begonia decided it was time to first appearance of the year.

The days dwindle down to a precious few…

Dahlia Silver Years set against the backdrop of the house as the setting sun backlights the white flower petals. Greenery below.

The Mathemagician nodded knowingly and stroked his chin several times. "You'll find," he remarked gently, "that the only thing you can do easily is be wrong, and that's hardly worth the effort."

IT’S TOAD LICKIN SEASON!

I am nothing if not a heretic. Or was that hermit?

I forget.

Steve Nellis @snellis.bsky.social · 4d

We’re not digging ours either. Only a few in wrong position or unhappy. There’s still plenty to do without digging dahlias.

Steve Nellis @snellis.bsky.social · 4d

Yes. There is no small effort in getting our garden to bed for winter. I’m ready for the work to be over.

Not the garden… the work. I’m lazy.

Steve Nellis @snellis.bsky.social · 4d

It’s true! Finally!
Oh… uh… yes yes. Very sad.
