Change of color

In the heat! All my flowers are gasping due to the heat and lack of rain. This little dahlia has just bloomed but I don’t know if it will last long even though I water them twice a day. A different look in black and white.

I did not walk today but my friend Judy who I have been walking with most mornings texted me that she saw the skunk at the first location we saw it. So I will have to be really diligent about taking the dog out instead of letting her out on her own as we have done since she was a puppy. Especially early morning and near dusk. I wish that skunk would go visit someone else!
