Gratitude in Full Bloom

Congratulations to Our October Giveaway Winner!

We’re delighted to announce that our October Giveaway Winner is from Walla Walla, Washington! She’ll be receiving a collection of fall-colored dahlia tubers, a warm celebration of autumn’s fiery palette—each bloom a promise of next year’s beauty waiting quietly beneath the soil.

As the fields at Flaming Acres slip into their winter rest, we can’t help but reflect on how far this journey has come—from our earliest rows of dahlias to a thriving community that shares in every bloom, every harvest, and every heartfelt moment of the season.

November Has Arrived—and Gratitude Is in Full Bloom

November brings with it a slower rhythm, the hum of gratitude filling the crisp morning air. The final tubers have been tucked away for their long winter’s nap, and now we turn our attention to celebrating the blessings that have bloomed both in the field and in our hearts.

This month, our subscribers are invited to pause with us—to reflect, rejoice, and find beauty in the stillness.

You’ll first get to journey with us through our November video, Harvest Days at Flaming Acres—a behind-the-scenes look at the laughter, teamwork, and frosty mornings that carried us through this year’s harvest. You’ll see familiar faces, hear the crunch of leaves under boots, and catch the quiet satisfaction that comes from a season well tended.

Subscribers are also automatically entered into our November Giveaway: the Cozy Winter Tuber Trio. This handpicked collection of warm-toned dahlias—reminiscent of flickering firelight, soft wool blankets, and steaming mugs of cocoa—will be sent to one lucky winner in spring 2026. It’s our way of wrapping up the year with a little warmth and joy.

And finally, we’ve created a bonus printable, “Seeds of Gratitude,”—a simple reflection journal page designed to help you pause and give thanks for the year’s growth. Whether you use it for journaling, scrapbooking, or tucking inside a note to a friend, it’s a reminder that every thankful thought is its own seed, waiting to bloom in due time.

Together, We Bloom

To our cherished Founding Members—thank you for walking this journey with us. Your encouragement, kindness, and shared enthusiasm for dahlias make this work a joy beyond measure. And to those just joining the Flaming Acres family this November—welcome! You’re stepping into a circle rooted in care, beauty, and gratitude.

As we settle into this season of rest, we’re reminded that beauty doesn’t end when the fields grow quiet—it simply changes form, waiting to surprise us again in spring.

Sincerely,

Debra Flaming
