Last fall I had to drop everything to help a sick parent, and I’m so grateful I was able to do that. 🩷 Everything is healthy and happy now and we are so grateful for my mom’s amazing recovery.🙏
But months later, the fallout from that crazy season is still showing up in the dahlias. Every new mislabel brings a little bit of that stressful chapter back, and it’s been easy to feel defeated.
Then something blooms exactly as it should, and it feels like a little win every single time. 🙌🏼✨
And I remember why I grow these beauties and put up with all the stress and drama. They’re pretty darn magical. The garden is my happy place. 💐
