It's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day, and I am back to posting lots of photos. Last month was a bit of an anomaly, I posted one photo only for GBBD and FF because I was just a bit pressed for time. Anyway, I'm now back to cataloging what's blooming this month. There's still plenty of flowers out there, although it doesn't seem like it when I look out the window. So far we haven't had as much rain as I expect here for October. But it's in the forecast.
