The first week I was here in WA, a lady from church came to visit and brought me flowers. I found out that they were dahlias and that there was a farm near here. Every since then I have wanted to go check it out. Well today I was missing Dan and my friends and even my kids were at school and the day was seeming kind of long, so I decided to go and find the dahlia farm.(Not that I don't have plenty of work to do but...)
I was talking to Kristi on the phone when I caught my first glimpse of the farm. It was beautiful and I'm sure I sounded a little bemused. There were rows and rows of amazing, vivid flowers, some as big as dinner plates. As stated before, my camera was in my van(I knew I left it in there for a reason) but unfortunately the batteries were dead! So tomorrow, I am going to take the real photographer and the kids to the farm and post them later.
I can't get over how cheap the flowers are, $5 for a huge bunch! Woo Hoo! Nothing like flowers to make a girl like me feel better. I made a cool arrangement with a pumpkin but I can't decide if it is too small for the table. I'll post those pictures and you all can give me your opinion! The flowers below are actually the coolest orange color, but again, not the photo pro.

Nice tablecloth, too! Flowers always make me smile, too. I would have loved the field trip to the flower farm.
