This picture of the day revolves around a furniture store that will remain nameless. But if you click this Day 85 Photo Link you can get a major hint at who I’m referring to. I am done dealing with this place. They have pissed us off enough, never to return! Which is too bad because I like to stay away from the big American boxstores. But they left us no other option. We found a couch we really love there. It’s one we noticed when we first moved into our house but now we are ready to purchase. We went back to check it out but thought we should take…

Ok I know I want to have some geometric patterns in our bedroom. Preferrably the curtains and preferrably with overlapping circles/rings of some sort. So the picture for today is a few shots of circles and whatnot that have kind of inspired me. The only problem is that I can’t find any curtains like these or any material to make the curtains I have in my head. So that is some of my inspiration. I would prefer light, I think, but dark would be ok too. I’m going to base the paint colour around the curtains. I was originally thinking light funky curtains on a dark purple wall with grey…

Now that the fall weather has finally arrived, my garden is going to start to dwindle and die. But it was a very eventful year in my garden.  Everything took a life of it’s own and is beautiful. I love it. Not too shabby for our very own, first ever, garden! 🙂 So if you want to see what I started with. Take a peek. Old Garden can be seen here

It wasn’t blooming much at all. Just a typical one or two blooms. Then I dead-headed it and came out a week later and the 2 blooms are now like 13 or 14. Yes, 13 or 14 shoots with blooms. I think I counted 14 in this picture and there are more that this camera angle could capture. It’s insane! And I love it. It’s ridiculously large. I should take a picture of my over-run garden and compare it to the picture of when I first planted it all. There is quite the difference!

So as you may *or may not* remember. I planted a Dahlia in my garden. It was called sunburst or something like that. Orange with a tinge of yellow. Well, it’s now massive! And the most peculiar thing happened. Other than it quadrupling in size the flowers that are now blooming are red. Deep deep red. Maybe it crossed with my red or pink Nicotina plant on each side of it. Check it out. You can see the old blooms in the back. They are still orange but all the new ones (like 10 or more) are now red. I like it better. I’m not a big fan of orange…
