These are the dahlias that my brother-in-law has grown this year.  He enters dahlias in the fair every year and usually wins a few ribbons from them.  He also waters them with warm water to help them grow faster so they are ready in time for the fair.  Above and beyond if you ask me, but they sure are pretty!

Happy Labor Day everyone!  We are going to be going to our friends house for a bit of swimming.  Well, the kids will be swimming.  I will be relaxing and watching them to make sure they don’t drown.  That’s always relaxing.
