Your dahlia’s look beautiful – are they hard to grow? That is a cute photo of your grandson I didn’t notice the reflection of his little face in the tiny mirror at first. Thanks for posting the photo of the storm bird. I have had one hanging round my garden too, it’s good to know what they look like.
