It is a wonderful burst of late colour, always welcome when so many other flowering plants have long since given up the ghost, but they herald Autumn when one wishes for summer to last just that little bit longer.<br /><br />But, how wonderful these Dahlias are. The pastel shades are charming and mix delightfully with other flowers. How pleased you must be that your squirrel thief did not make off with these beauties!Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7844918151906144405.post-17655108473265232322014-08-25T11:16:43.330-07:002014-08-25T11:16:43.330-07:00Wow.

So pretty! How funny about your squirrel stealing things. My Dad, when he was a boy, had a crow that would steal anything shiny, even coming into the house! They eventually climbed the tree to his nest and stole everything back - including my Grandmother's watch. What a great story your children will have to tell their children some day!
