In spite of the meadow rats' appetite for all things growing, one of the daylilies I planted this summer is blooming! This is "Fencing Master," a much prettier color than its written description led me to expect. (Beggars can't be choosers; you take what you can get when they are 50% off!)Next summer I am looking forward to lots of color around Boulderneigh. In addition to the shrubs and daylilies we planted this spring and summer which will hopefully produce blooms next year, I have dahlias on my birthday and Christmas "wish list." We learned about a big dahlia farm's annual exhibition just in time to take Rick's folks last weekend when they were here; it was spectacular! So next spring I am going to skip the local Bi-Mart's paltry offerings and order some tubers from Swan Island Dahlias. Its just a hop and a skip down the road from the Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival, if any of you are going. Below is a sampling of the photos I took there.
Easily entertained at . . .
