I can tolerate winter for two days and then I am over it. 😆

Happy 249 days until summer to all who are counting. It's a two-for-one special today. This is "Molineux," another David Austin rose. I guess since it's getting chilly, these blooms are staying warm by snuggling. 🥰

Happy 250 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the first time I am sharing this rose, mostly because it waited until late to really start blooming. This is "Bolero," an extremely fragrant floribunda rose.

Since this is described as a "meh 😒" rose, I planted it in an area where I had nothing planted, but I wasn't sure how it would do. It was inexpensive, so I wasn't worried that a pricey Rose might not make it. It has flourished over the years and it's in a spot where it can always be seen. 🥰

Happy 251 days until summer to all who are counting. This is the "Apricot Drift Rose." It isn't fragrant and is viewed more for groundcover purposes. But it's blooms are beautiful and needed to be shared.

We are a day or so behind weather wise... so I am looking forward to tomorrow.

Happy 252 days until summer to all who are counting. The dahlias are still growing, including this one "Fuzzy Wuzzy," which is a new variety for me this year. Its ruffled edges make this a fun variety to grow.

Happy 253 days until summer to all who are counting. A little taste of Provence with a rare early fall rebloom on my lavender plants. Not sure who liked it more... me or the bees!

Happy 254 days until summer to all who are counting. This photo is not AI and it doesn't have some strange filter on it. This is the way "Flamenco" dances in the sunlight. It's almost unreal! It's also blooming better now than it has all summer!

Looking for a late-night read? My former #TwoScoops columnist @lizmasterssc.bsky.social has a new General Hospital commentary posted. She's got thoughts on Willow's downfall, Jason and Serena, brotherly (un)love, and a lot more. #GH

Nature is weird and wonderful. Every year there is a fun surprise that makes me smile.

Has Hayley really been neutralized? Could she still end up💀? Are Dani and Andre done? Plus, the engagement, Homecoming, funny nicknames, the dining room, and more!

Happy 255 days until summer to all who are counting. This came as a HUGE surprise. I was out doing some fall cleanup and saw that one of my irises had rebloomed. It's not uncommon for that to happen, but it's usually in August or September. 🌱

@danjkroll.bsky.social Oct 8, 2026, 3:47 PM

Happy 256 days until summer to all who are counting. I no longer have any idea what dahlia this is. Each bloom is wildly different than the last. It also no longer matches the variety it *should* be. But it's still beautiful. Nature is fun. 😆

I am glad they bring you as much joy as they bring to me. ❤️

Happy 257 days until summer to all who are counting. My zinnias didn't do as well this year as in years past, but this particular plant is still flowering late into the year.
