Looking Pretty

I got the birthday parcel posted away to Canada today. Do hope it arrives on time. Another Christmas card arrived from overseas today... should keep them for this coming Christmas!

The Dahlias are flowing so well and sure make a splash of lovely bright colour in the garden. I have a few Monarch caterpillar on the Swan plants now. Great to see. First of the season for us here in Christchurch. I had lots earlier in my Akaroa garden.
