Tangerine Tuesday

Yep - still hot, still sunny.

Pruning required today on a neighbours out of control rose bush that they don't have time to do (!), but the upside was the vases full of roses we now have in our house!!

Another neighbour is now spending their afternoon pressure washing yet another patio area - they spent 2 days doing the same last week and the noise is beginning to grate with me, as is the amount of water they must be wasting!  deep breaths....

first dahlia of the year to open is this beauty - ludwig helfert - which is a nice sight as many of the other dahlias are so behind this year!
