2013, Day 274 - Melting

With high winds and rain most of the remaining dahlias are looking pretty shabby.  This one I captured during a break in the rain still shows life but soon they will all be gone.  If we don't get a freeze it is recommended to dig up the tubers by the second week in November and, as hard as it is to believe, we're already in October.  Oh well, there's always next year.
