October 7 #homegrown garden update. Last warm day of the season (81F!) ahead of rainstorm tomorrow. Slight chance of frost Friday morning, hopefully the plants will survive

Yes lots of dahlias & zinnias!

(Looking to buying a few new dahlia varieties for next season, suggestions?)

Exactly how I feel about Nelsons's conducting most of the time

A pan of 8 mini moo cakes

We also have mini mooncakes homemade by my sis-in-law
