The Travelling Dahlias

It began with the fluttery white dahlias from the Market dancing about the Sunday breakfast table in town.  Along with the bundle of sweet peas, they made a handsome addition to the morning.  One of the things I love most about flowers is the hearty/fragile contrast. It is what makes them so intriguing.  I knew the dahlias would only last a few more days (the fragile) but knew they would handle the ferry ride (the hearty) just fine and be a welcome addition all snuggled together on the ottoman out on the island.
