October





October is getting off to a wet start. The rain shows no sign of letting up just yrt ( it is 1 P.M. now)
Oh well, I have enough to do in the house to keep me busy. Hopefully in a few days we can go back to sunshine.


The Autumn Crocus doesn't stand up well to rain. Luckily I thought of taking a picture yesterday.


           The Sweet Autumn Clematis is putting on its annual show of loveliness.


The Dahlias are somewhat bedraggled but when I look at them from the porch I can't see the
  leaning stalks, just the splash of colour.


I've decided to drink my tea out of a different tea cup every day in October.  Today's choice is a pretty cup by Royal Stafford.  Although I love the look, I do find that tea cools very quickly due to the wide shape.


Wishing you all sweet October days!

  4. It is supposed to start raining here tonight, but we do need the rain, it has been quite dry here. Your tea cup is lovely, and I love your idea of drinking out of a different one every day! Your dahlias are gorgeous too, so lovely to have their splash of color in the fall! Hopefully the nice sunshine does return soon for you :)

    I like your sweet tea cup. It will be fun to see which tea cup you will choose next.

  9. Your yard is still very pretty! The crocus do look very delicate, don't they? Well, if I used a different tea cup every day, I would be done in three days. :) You make me want to have a cup of tea in a pretty cup. Oh, I LOVE that big sunflower in your last post. I would love to go to that craft fair!!
