October Garden

My friend’s garden Sunday October 5th. Eileen has the most gorgeous flowers. The dahlias are huge. Roses are still blooming. So many vibrant colors to capture Sunday morning. Here are just a few.

The gift of flowers

From my neighbor. She got them at the Farmer’s Market today. I’d given some knitting help. What a gorgeous autumn bouquet. I put the flowers in my vintage hammered aluminum pitcher.

Thank you Cathy
