dahlias for Kara...


...for Kara who could never resist saving her last two or three dollars for a few stems of glowing summer dahlias at the farmers market. I have been waiting eagerly for them to reappear this summer... and finally they are here! But bittersweet; they make me glad for the beauty and warmth of summertime and for my sister... and a little sad now, for all the time and space in between...
