Dahlias

[botias]

Dahlia trip was great except we went south this time. I love my state, but I swear, the drivers are crazy. Particularly memorable was when I rounded a turn on twisty Highway 1 in the dark and discovered someone in my lane. Guess they were in a hurry to get on with their vacation and decided to try some illegal passing. They ducked back into their lane with seconds to spare. Glad I didn't have to find out how my airbags worked or whether the guard rail would have kept us from plummenting into the ocean 200 feet below. :P Information I don't need. When I drive North instead, it's like I can feel the sanity wafting down from Canada or something. Still, ate a lot of good food and saw a lot of beautiful dahlias.

Here are some bouquets I put together for my mom's birthday yesterday. The kiddos made some really cute cards to go with, and we left them in her kitchen to surprise her. She was happy.

There are too many people vacationing that have no clue how super scary 1 is. Seriously. Stop looking at the ocean and watch the freaking road! Night is even worse. There are no lights and it's not for the faint of heart. I'm glad the driver pulled over. I bet that was a heart stopping couple of seconds.

Your dahlias! So gorgeous.

Hwy 1 is hard core. I hope the Mister enjoyed the view because I saw none of it. I wondered before I left if I were being irresponsible planning to drive it when I still have dependent children. Guess I was right!

DAHLIAS How much I luvs them!
