I took a walk through the homes on Saturday and one place had the most beautiful flowers growing in the front yard. I haven't seen dahlias in a while and seeing the ones at that house inspired me to go get myself one of my very own. While my very favorite flower is a peony, dahlias are probably next on the list. I say probably because depending on the day, that position might be taken over by a rose or even an orchid.
To grab myself a dahlia, I walked over to a flower shop that I drive by every day on my way home from work and have yet to go in. Every person I see leaving the store (as I wait not so patiently at the light in my car) has very beautiful buds in their hands. I figure today would be a great day to check it out and grab my dahlia. They did not disappoint. They had such amazing flowers everywhere, I wanted to spend all day in there. It must be so nice to work there and be surrounded by all the beauty. I was so amped on my new flower store find, that I completely forgot that I left my debit card at home. After an embarrassing moment at the counter when I couldn't purchase the couple of dahlia stems that I brought up, I did find a errant five dollars and still went home with one to give us a little more to look at then our blank walls.
Isn't she beautiful?! |
