After days of grey clouds and drizzle, the sun broke through this afternoon, illuminating the garden in lovely golden light. I dashed out with my camera to snap a few photos.
Lilacs are not known for their autumn foliage, but I've been admiring the russet shades from my kitchen window. This close up highlights the rich colour and curving veins of lilac leaves.
One more dahlia blossom is slowly, ever so slowly, opening. It's a dinner plate variety, and I don't know the name, but I'm watching it carefully.
A volunteer cherry tomato vine grew up behind the zinnias and cosmos and it's still producing tiny fruits. Garden clean up will soon put an end to that, but they will stay for a few more days.
Hydrangeas remain full of colour - mostly the pink and purple shades, but a few later blooms display summer tints of blue.
Inside there's been lots of wonderful visiting with my parents, along with putting a puzzle together. This evening they are having dinner with our eldest daughter and her family.
We don't have a lot planned for tomorrow other than going out for dinner in the evening, but it's lovely just being together. More sun is in the forecast. Hooray!
