Fresh flowers

I think there are few things so wonderful as a bouquet of flowers from your very own garden in your house. As one attempting to trade this "black thumb" of mine in for a green one, it makes me so so happy to have my flowers not only survive, but thrive! :)




I think I am going to try and dry these hydrangeas...you know, as proof that I am not a complete failure at gardening, hehe! :) No really, I just think they will look pretty on my fireplace mantel in the winter, what do you think?

How is your week going? Hopefully it is going well and you are staying cool where you are! :)

Have a blessed night,

You hydrangeas are beautiful!

We are actually having a mild July for NC. Usually we average in the upper 90s but so far haven't seen that. I typically like the hot weather so I am a little disappointed!

Ooo, I love hydrangeas! They are so pretty! I've been wanting to plant some for a while, but I hear they are hard to grow here because of the heat/lack of rain. I have one in a pot in my kitchen. But I'd really like some outside.
