First bunch of chrysanthemums I’ve ever picked. Pictured here are Champagne and Baltica Salmon.

Approaching mid-century and still feel the sting of messages unacknowledged. Ahh to be human!

I almost bought a Light Phone / Punkt / some dumb phone today but thought I’d try a minimum spend approach first 🤷🏽‍♀️ Deleted a bunch of apps (looking at you Substack!) and installed Blank Spaces App to reduce visual clutter. I think it will work!

Noticing the tension between wanting something pretty vs just going for it, mess and all.

Dahlia cv Belle with her two toned petals. I was so happy to come home to her in bloom.

Days are getting shorter. The garden looks tired. Still! It’s trying for a last hurrah.

Dahlia ‘Florelie Balaton’ – a surprise favourite.
