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.
