BLOOMIN' HYDRANGEA

I never thought that Hydrangea was so easy to grow....and that the blooms would be so massive! My brother retired last year and began starting Hydrangeas in pots from cuttings with great success...in fact, he was over-run with plants last spring. I was delighted!
I planted the one he gave me where it would get morning sun and afternoon shade. It produced only one small bloom last year but lots of foliage, which I expected the first year as it was getting settled in. But this year...what a display!

large basketball size blooms ...

 

These have been through the cycle, green to pure white and now back to green...so I'm hoping that I can dry then. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

 

I'll be joining in over at "Little Red House" for Mosaic Monday. Come on over......

Where has the time gone?

 

Time has gotten away from me and and I haven't posted, in like... forever.

 

I've so many interests that have pulled me in other directions...

Card making, refinishing furniture etc. Everything I see I want to try!

 Tomorrow, I will post some photos showing what I've been up to.
 I promise.

Words for life's journey.....

 

Happy Mother's Day!

 

 

Spring has sprung.....

   

 

 

 

 

 

Stunning Architecture...

I have always loved photographing beautiful old houses! The lines and detail of these structures are so appealing with their peaks and curves...not to mention the  huge porches that streeeeetch across the whole front of the house.

 

 

There are at least three floors, and I can just imagine the old oak molding inside...pocket doors and spiral staircases....such timeless treasures.
