it is yucky here. the weather that is! think mist, cold, fog. Ever heard of that old quote by Mark Twain? "The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Well, I googled it and Mark Twain didn't actually say this but it certainly is so true! So to brighten my day I just stepped outside into my backyard to admire my landlord's hobby... Dahlias! I have always been a fan of roses, that was until I realized the versatility and beauty of Dahlias. Some of them are little balls of bright color, some (when in bloom) are like fireworks frozen in mid air after the "BOOM", and some are inspired by Winnie the Pooh! Here are just a few of my favorites...
Purple Ball
Here is the Pooh Flower! So cute!
Just love these flowers~
BOOM!
My Backyard, usually the dogs have full reign of the yard until Miles pees on the Dahlias. Then he gets in big trouble... meaning he has to be supervised by yours truly. It isn't easy trying to explain the importance and beauty of plants to a schnauzer! He just doesn't understand!
