Last Saturday my "live-in gardener" and I took about a 40 minute drive south of town to see the dahlias
at Swan Island Dahlia Farm. There were too many people with the same idea, so we snapped a few pictures and headed home.
I hope you enjoy our quick peek at the dahlias for this season.
I always like the pink ones the best.
But there were so many beautiful colors. It was like a rainbow in the field.
Well online today I saw pictures of these same gardens and the light was bright red. How sad to see, as the red was caused from the sun trying to get through the smoke of all the fires.
It is a very sad situation on the west coast of the USA. Fires are everywhere. My cousin and his wife, plus their son and his family lost their homes to the fires. Now my daughter and grandson are evacuating and will be with us for maybe one night or who knows how long. The smoke was really bad today and not advised to be outside or go walking. Portland isn't in jeopardy at this moment, but we are not sure if they will be able to hold it back. Please pray for rain, no wind, cooler temperatures, and help for the fire people.
Take care dear friends and may you have a blessed weekend.
Hug each other and stay safe.
