Blissful Friday...

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......
