Thanks Angela. My leg is healing so well now. I still get bandaged at a clinic every 3 days and this new product they use has sped up the healing process. It has been 3 months and it won’t be too much longer I hope. 🙏 Thanks for asking. 🥰 @italydiva

Thanks Katy. Took it before I dug up my dahlias. It was good I did them early as a couple of the tubers had rotted. I miss them now though. Chilly week here. 😟 @gjones

This one has changed daily. Maybe it is the hot dry weather, then thunderstorms. We had a loud clap of thunder tonight. Scared Maxx so much he jumped. My son said lightning hit the roof of a home a few km from here. Scary stuff. 😳 @kez001uk

Thanks Katy. Seems this one changes daily. I only had the 2 blooms this year so I am hoping the tubers survive and I get more flowers next year. 🤞🤞 @gjones

@hkyfvr must have an effect when they’re constantly having to adapt 😵‍💫 oh that sounds scary! No wonder Maxx was frightened 😨

I don’t know what makes then that way. Maybe they had a bad experience before we got them. Maybe some are just born that way. Funny how they can be so different. Just like we are. 😍 @kez001uk
