I mean…COME ON. 😍 This weekend’s bouquets are so freaking pretty.

The Dahlias of course are amazing, but I’m also weirdly excited about the greenery tucked in there. We added scented geranium to the bouquets this week and I am OBSESSED.

We tried growing it a few years ago and it was a big old flop. 😂 So of course we had to try again and MY GOSH it’s so good.

It has the prettiest texture, smells amazing, and gives the bouquets this wild, garden-y look that I love so much. So many of the flowers the scent is breed out of them so it’s nice to have something that smells good in there! And then paired with all these dahlias? GOOD LORD. 😍

It’s opening weekend at Hidden Hills Orchard, which means Wildroot bouquets are headed there too!

So you’ve got lots of ways to get your flower fix this weekend:

🌸 Wildroot Flower Stand
🌸 Scot’s Marketplace
🌸 River City Farmers Market
🌸 Hidden Hills Orchard

I hope you’re loving the sunshine this week.

"Fifty years of sternwheelers, and a brand new levee to welcome them home.

We were up over the Marietta riverfront this week documenting the reconstructed levee from the air. This ground has been forty years in the making. The city first floated the idea of a levee park back in 1986. The $9.4 million rebuild brings an amphitheater, power lines finally buried so the river view opens up, a completely rebuilt Ohio Street, and accessibility improvements that were three decades overdue.

Fitting that its first real test comes September 11 through 13, when the Ohio River Sternwheel Festival celebrates its 50th year alongside America’s 250th.

MOV Drone Workz is proud to serve as the official aerial photographer and videographer of the 2026 Ohio River Sternwheel Festival.

We have spent years documenting this valley from above. Cemeteries, covered bridges, river towns, the places that make the Mid-Ohio Valley what it is. Being part of the 50th means something.

More to come as we get closer. Ohio’s oldest city has never looked better from up here."
