It's an almost balmy October Saturday afternoon. The sky is heavy with clouds but the rain has held off for now and it's a breezy 65 degrees.
It was perfect for our walk this morning and some light work outside.
Now there is college football on the TV. Tom is resting up before this evening's big Sounders soccer game at the stadium where he will be going with son Jake. It's a big rivalry match and the last regular game of the season. Playoffs will be coming up. I will be quite content to stay home and watch on TV.
We had a good week back at home after our trip to the coast. A pot roast provided us with three dinners. We still have some home grown tomatoes. Flowers were picked, of course.
There are still interesting things in the garden.
Most of our garden trees are just starting to show color. The cedar trees are starting their messy stage, dropping last years "leaves".
There's no point in cleaning up yet. There is lots more to come down.
The dahlias are almost done, but I can still find flowers in the garden for now.
October is a lovely month.
October IS lovely up there! Sure seems like the year went by so quickly. Faster than ever!
ReplyDeleteCan't believe that you have so much still in bloom. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me that there is something blooming in your gardens for at least 8-9 months of the year. That seems incredible to me. Such beautiful colours too. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteLovely bouquet of Dahlias and Marigolds.
ReplyDeleteNice to have an endless supply of flowers from your garden OR from the store!
