Fall Dahlias

{Dahlias after the severe rain storm on early Wednesday evening}

Experiencing frost last week due to a front that moved through the western mountains of Northern Virginia had night temps down to the high 20’s. Going out in the evening air to cover a few of the herb plants with plastic and burlap to keep them from freezing was imperative.

By Tuesday of this week the remnants of hurricane Patricia brought heavy rain and wind so, when there was an opening after the deluge yesterday, I could not wait to get outside to snap a few photos of the dahlias before losing them in the next freeze or severe storm.

Enjoy,

Sunset at Heath

What a way to start the weekend, enjoying the beautiful fall season on the front porch at Heath watching the sunset with family; enjoying a crisp glass of Brut cava and a few slices of Humboldt Fog {goat cheese} before setting off for my evening walk. I am looking forward to the approach of Halloween and cannot wait to see how the neighbors have creatively decorated their homes, while out this evening.
