Pale Dahlia

2 October 2019:
275th day of the year. There were then 90 days left in 2019
40th Wednesday of 2019
10th day of Autumn. There are 81 days left till Winter
Birthstone for this day: Opal and Tourmaline

Also apparently the International Day of Non-Violence. Tell that to the  the millions who were murdered, tortured, battered and brutalised today. To those who were killed by weapons manufactured and sold by the rich in their ivory towers to the powerful on their thrones built on the blood and sorrow of the people they were born to serve.
 
Pumpkin & Chicken for tea.
