Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
I came home yesterday after a very busy week and had a few minutes before I needed to start dinner. So I grabbed my camera and went out to the backyard where I found
my new dahlias in bloom –
fuchsias – the most beautiful of the difficult flowers to spell –
Benji enjoying the catmint –
Anna’s hummingbirds coming to feed –
and I was refreshed.
Isn’t that what hobbies are for?
For Sunday Stills.

Love it! I once had a fuchsia in a hanging basket and surprisingly it did pretty well. But in the central California climate, it eventually meet its demise.
Thanks! And it looks like you have no trouble spelling it! π
Well, βtruth in bloggingβ: Spell check is a really handy feature! ππ
Glad to hear I’m not alone! I have to look up the spelling of that beautiful flower every.single.time! π
Those fuchsias are gorgeous and I had to copy and paste the word so that I didn’t misspell it.
I love fuchsias but I have to look up the spelling every single time! π
Beautiful! I love fuschia. I need to get a few for my hard. Dahlias are my absolute favorites
Thank you! I love dahlias too! And the fuschias are easy container plants. βΊ
Gorgeous! You have so many talents! πC
Aw, thanks so much! You are too kind! π
