Purple, rain

The sweetpeas are still flowering in the planter by the garage. Very strange to be flowering in November. 
I lifted the white dahlias today and we transplanted a precious tree that we planted when Conor started school. 
It was crowded by the whitebeam and the cherry tree and wasn't thriving. 
We met with my sister and John for morning tea at the Lodge on the Loch . It was a nice relaxed catch up time. 
Grateful that the pervading gloom dissipated  a bit today. 
A walk before dark on the shore path  and  I enjoyed catching up with 3 neighbours on my way .
