Hello my lovely friends.
I know! It's been a while.
(Do I even have any blog friends left does cross my mind.)
I have to admit - being back is a little harder to get my head round than it should be.
It is time to get my head out of the literal and proverbial sand.
I have work to do. So much to catch up on.
I'm just not sure where to start.
I'm trying to tell myself that 2012 is not the year of procrastination.
I don't have time for that - even though I am so very good at it.
Coming home is lovely though. To home that is.
It makes me realise that all the trials and tribulations of renovating were so very worthwhile.
And then there are the dahlias. In all their blooming glory.
These would surely make anyone smile.
And they are quite prolific. It feels better than good to be able to pick them and give them away, and know that there are plenty more coming along.
And I know I've been known to have a big head every now and then, but that dahlia in the first image has an even bigger one. How it even stands itself up without falling over is hard to believe.
So, tell me, how are you all doing?
I can't wait to come and visit...
Amanda xx

Your dahlias as stunning! Did you are the one on my Friday Flowers post two Fridays ago? Must plant more.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm great at procrastination! I'm lounging on the sofa blogging and watching crappy tv when I really really need to be filling an order of necklaces. Pesky things.
Have a great week x
I think dahlias are my new favourite flower. I don't have any but I'm going to plant some...I am! Every year is my year of procrastination I think...it's a disease :) And of course you have blog friends...sheesh! Thank you for your lovely comment earlier x
ReplyDeleteLove your Dahlias. And welcome back! Im trying to catch up on blog as well. Traveling and lack of internet doesnt go along ha! Happy new year!
ReplyDeletethis is the best time of the year as the dahlias are erupting from the ground, they are by far my most adored flower. thanks for sharing yours ❤
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are stunning! There's a house around the corner with a huge patch of them that I admire every time I pass. Great to see you back here x
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to the blogisphere. Coming home is one of my favourite parts of going away - I'm such a 'home girl', and I can imagine your newly decorated home would be especially nice to come home to.
ReplyDeleteI'm so excited - I've just discovered some gorgeous dahlias belonging to my neighbour that are growing through some trellis on our back fence, behind the garage. They were just begging to be picked, so I did! xxx
It's lovely to hear from you. Those dahlias certainly are spectacular! I'm jealous. My dry summer garden needs some colour and life in it, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy 2012!
Beautiful, beautiful dahlias, Amanda, and I think of you whenever I spot my new Brera Largo Peony cushion (you identified the fabric for me ages ago) so you still exist even when not posting!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are back my friend. Such pretty dahlias....one of my students name is Dahlia...I love it! xoxoxo HUGS
ReplyDeleteThere can be nothing better than coming home to such a magnificent display of homegrown Dahlias, clever you, I love them too.
DeleteGreat to have you back, Gorgeous. Of course we're still here! *sigh*. Your dahlias are delightful. I think we need to plant some at PB HQ now! J x
