Let it shine!

The dahlias are in full bloom right now, and I have to say, the yellow is my very favorite. It's almost as though it's shining like the rays of the sun. One can't help but be moved by the beauty of these flowers. There is so much detail in every petal and each one is bigger & better than the last one clipped. They will be around another month, and then it will be too hot for them. So, I am enjoying every bit of them now.

Today I am thankful for a family dinner poolside, and a mother in law who treats me like the daughter she never had.
