Today it is windy and cool and I am back in skinny jeans, a long sleeved t-shirt and checked shirt - it all feels like a bit like autumn is on its way.
The colours in the garden are slipping into the russets, rich burgundies and deep pinks of autumn too - the sedums doing their annual flush into gorgeous rich pinks and the dahlias flowering their nearly black hearts out. It means lots of lovely new flowers for the house and to make up into bouquets.
A strange perk of the topsy turvey weather this year is that I have sweetpeas still in flower - I have never had sweetpeas and dahlias out together, but am enjoying the treat!
So there's plenty still to pretty up the house, and if you want to see what some other lovely flower fans are picking for their vases, head over to Jane's flower party, and say I sentchya'! :)
