Happy Flower Friday!
Today we are going to take a look at what Sequoia Gardens looks like this Autumn....
The dahlias are drooping...and attracting more moths and bugs.
There is still some beauty tho...
The fuschias seem to thrive throughout the year...
Dahlia droplets are always pretty...
A few puffy dahlias are still blooming...
Even on a rainy day, dahlias can put a smile on Mamas face.
Usually at this time of the year, we would be moving to the Winter Flower Friday Schedule. This year we are going to try something different and next week we will start
Nature Friday
Where we can share pictures of the weather, a tree, any form of nature(even a flower) to show us the beauty in your corner of Blogville all year round.
This week we lost two very good friends...and want to dedicate this Flower Friday to their memories...
Dennis the Viszla was one of my Angel sister Dory's first friends way back in 2009. He left for the Rainbow Bridge yesterday to join his packmates, Trixie, Tucker and Kitty Trouble...He leaves his kitty siblings Charlee and Chaplin to continue having adventures.
We were hit very hard by the sudden loss of our good friend Emma the GBGV on Tuesday. I was lucky to meet Emma's Mama and sisters, Bailie and Madison, at the Blog Paws conference last Spring. We know Emma is napping with her sister Katie at the Bridge, but we also know how much her Mama and sisters are missing her.
We are sending love and snuggles to both families.
We know how much Dennis made us laugh and Emma loved to be silly, so our last picture today is of all of us laughing and acting silly on our walk last weekend.
Run free friends...

ReplyDeletewe are sard too for Dennis and Emma... it still hurts like crazy to know that they had to go...
What a lovely tribute to your friends. And great job in finding beautiful flowers at this time of year.
ReplyDeleteBertie and I like the sound of Nature Friday, and will do our best to take part.
Cheers! Gail.
You always find the most beautiful flowers! It is so hard to lose our blogging buddies and our hearts break from their families and friends.
ReplyDeleteYou are so very kind. I know you still ache from missing sweet Dory. Thank you for mentioning Emma. I hate that she can't even comment on blogs anymore. This is so very hard, but she would want me to march on an carry on her motto of fun, laughter, and happiness. We never knew Dennis, but our hearts go out to his family as well.
ReplyDeleteI love fuchsias. And here they are used as hedges and rigorously cut down when they get too big. Only to come back bigger and better!
ReplyDeleteIt's always sad to read about friends leaving us.

ReplyDeleteYou know I love your Sequoia Garden visits and those dahlias light up the screen! Lovely tribute for the departed ones... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I love you silly last photo being silly on the beautiful bench, even though I don't know all these sweet pets that went over the rainbow bridge my heart still aches for those left behind. the flowers are gorgeous. I love the fushcias. I have only seen them at Selby Gardens here, they might be hard to grow.
ReplyDeleteThose are such pretty flowers and you're so darn cute Rosy!
ReplyDeleteBlogville was a better place for having Dennis and Emma in it. We will all miss you, dear ones.
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea about how Flower Friday will go forward. I will have to get a post ready!
Love the last picture. What a great bench and even better smiles.
You sure found some pretty flowers to show us. Nothing is blooming around us right now but the fall colors are starting to pop.
ReplyDeleteThat was a sweet tribute to Dennis and Emma. We will miss both of them very much. Your picture at the end is sure to put a smile on their families faces.
Nature Friday that will be fun!!
ReplyDeleteRosy I love your hair bow and all your pretty posies.
I was so very sorry to read about Dennis and Emma's sudden passing.
Two precious angels OTRB.

Nature Friday is a grreat idea! Maybe Momma will actually get around to taking some pictures. Siiiiiigh!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are still quite lovely and I like the idea of Nature Friday! This was a very tough week losing both Dennis and Emma. They may be gone, but definitely never forgotten. 💔 Nice tribute.
ReplyDeleteWe so love your droplet dahlia and rainy dahlia photos!!! So pretty. But of course, the prettiest of allis Miss Rosy!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know Emma but we send our deepest sympathy to her family. Dennis was also one of our first blog pals. He always made us laugh and smile, even if sometimes we didn't really follow his "tales". He survived a very rough early life in the desert and found himself in such a wonderful and loving home. We know how much his Dada and Mama must be missing him. Soft woos and gentle hugs to the families of Emma and Dennis.

You have the prettiest flowers and the cutest faces. I like the idea of a nature blog. Cool idea. We are sorry for the loss of our blogging friends. We will be together someday.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the gardens are still so beautiful! We love the idea of Nature Friday, since our flowers are all gone for now.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sad about Emma and for her family as well. We didn't really know Dennis, but I would sometimes see his comments on other blogs and they always made me laugh! That last photo is perfect.

Charlee: "What pretty flowers those are. Especially the fuschia."
ReplyDeleteChaplin: "We like how they dangle. We would bat those things around like nobody's business."
Charlee: "Thank you for dedicating this Flower Friday to Dennis and Emma and for visiting us when Dennis went over the Rainbow Bridge."
Chaplin: "And thank you for being Dennis's friends all these years."
Charlee: "We didn't know Emma but we are definitely feeling sympathy for her family."
Both: "And Dennis told us to tell you, 'ok bye'."
Thank you for the pretty flowers on a Friday.
ReplyDeleteRun free dear Emma and Dennis ♥♥
