What Dahlias are supposed to look like.....

So one of my passions is Dahlias. I think they are wonderful and beautiful flowers. And I get really excited each year when it's time to plant them. This year I had to plant them late and in really rocky soil. Well...they were not cooperative at all and they look horrible. So Nick and I went down to Manito and took pictures of the really pretty Dahlia garden. I figured maybe mine at home didn't know what they were supposed to look like. So I showed them how beautiful they could be and how much potential each blossom had. Hopefully next year they will try a bit harder.

Such a beautiful Fall morning

Nick and I enjoyed an early morning float down the Little Spokane on Saturday morning. It was beautiful! Nick really wanted to see a moose, but we had no luck. We did see lots of foul, deer, fish fresh water clams and bugs. I am so glad that the Little Spokane is a protected area. Someone needs to protect the wildlife and the natural flow of life other than human up there. It is a shame that people don't follow the rules and leave beer cans at the bottom. Anyways here are a few pictures. Enjoy...

4 years down and 76 to go....

I joke with Nick telling him when he married me he signed an 80 year contract so he can't get out of it. So now he says: "*sigh*... 76 to go" That's why I love him! We joke, we snuggle, we race to see who can get down the steps the fastest, or who can open the other persons car door faster. We have so much fun! And yet he has been so compassionate, patient, and loving with me in these last few rough years. God has molded the perfect partner for me and I could not be any more greatful.

We went to the Spokane County Fair last night to celebrate our 4 year anniversary. We had fun as always!

This is Nick, not missing a crumb of the cinnamon and sugar....that's why I love him, he is not wasteful.
Me getting in the hot tub because it was a bit chilly when the sun went down.
Me holding my hand up so I could get my ring off.....Once a year free ring cleaning only at the fair!!!
The two love birds....the one on the left sure has her eyes open wide....sheesh!
