I think I planted the dahlia bulbs a bit too shallow. Some are already blooming. This one reminds me of the fireworks. Have a very nice weekend. I talk more in the comments!
Such beautiful fireworks! Ours started early. We were kept awake last night by early fireworks but celebrating our country early, late or whenever makes it okay!
I saw fireworks the last saturday in June, we looked out our dining room window and there they were, the ones on the 4th were outside the living room window (opposite side of apt) but out of site!!! I love DAHLIAS!
(just another baby legging in the image. Using my socks yarns a little differently) I think that blogger may not have correctly counted all the posts I've written. I've been posting since 2004 so I guess it is possible. I'm not going to go back and count them all. It says this is post 987. So we'll go with it. Im having a little contest for the milestone, but I have had writer's block since I decided on the 1000th post contest.

When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa. Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures. 2. I did not see one shooting star last night. I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m. The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones. 3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch? On the same day. Tis true. 4. What have I knitted lately? I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit. I ripped out a shawl that I was making up. It was cotton and pretty. I need to follow a pattern. 5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead. I haven't worked a thumb in a long time. I may have to frog it too. So I ha...

Happy 4th!!
What makes you think you planted them too shallow?
I am on the lookout for green dahlia seeds. Haven't found any yet, but there are some flowers that I would just love to plant.
Hopefully they can come out as beautiful as yours are.
