We went to the beautiful Minnesota Landscape Arboretum today and got lost in the bliss puffs of the dhalia's in full bloom. It was a wonderful end to a trying week. Seems like I've heard from so many people that this week was a rough one between parents and children. I'm sure it has a lot to do with the new school year starting, new schedules and all the adjusting that entails. I got into a major funk, which is absolutely no fun. However, it does always make me re-evaluate things and check in to see if I'm living my best life. There will be some adjustments made as we head into fall and that leads into the long winter that we have here in Minnesota. It's really only been a few months really since our last snow in May this year. Sigh. I plan to better my parenting, there's always room for improvement there. Hope to enjoy the harvest and get my kids eating better. I also hope to make a lot more art on a personal level. Try to document things a bit more deeply. With all that said, today I was truly able to stop and smell the flowers and discover the artistry of the plant world. Enjoy the plethora of pictures. Ahh......

I have hesitated planting dahlias because you have to dig them up, but they are so lovely maybe it's worth the work!
I just found your blog and it is sooo lovely!
What a gorgeous place! I love those big dahlias. Your photos are so colorful too.
The child look like they enjoyed their visit too. If you come to the Philly area, you'll have to go to Longwood Gardens.
Simply Awesome.......

Kari your photographs are amazing! I love the one of the reflection of you in the dew drop-that is amazing!! And the one of your kids together with the flowers. Simply beautiful!
Dahlias - I have GOT to plant more dahlias. Gorgeous!!!!
That photo of Lowell and Chloe together is just precious.
The photo of the fountain would be a great one to add to the Shades of Inspiration pool for moss green week, which ends today.
