I tip my hat to you, Mr. Viking Duke.

Thanks so very much triple b. Today I am cutting bouquets for all the neighbor ladies. It seems some strong winds are on there way. So I have to get rid of all the flowers before the wind breaks the plants.

We had friends over after church today and I took the female part of the couple up to the garden and cut her a bouquet. A Pennsgift with rather good form, and a few Honkas not to mention various other flowers and the obligatory earwig. I love giving people bouquets, especially the informal, mixed colors and forms of the home garden; whatever is in bloom goes in there.

Triple b that is our gift to the world. We make this a better place to live by growing dahlias and introducing them to others who have not grown them. I have a cancer survivor across the street who is having another incident. She is looking forward to growing my dahlias in her garden next year. Making it a better place one person at a time.
