I am over the moon excited to have blooms on this hydrangea! This plant was a gift when we first moved into our home, 13 years ago. That poor thing would never really take off, and less than a handful of blooms in all these years. This year we removed tons of daylilies nearby...wonder if it was struggling with all that competition for water/food? We have 5 blooms so far.
This year, our big project is getting a yard. We have had gobs of dirt delivered and will boxblade soon, followed by seed and straw. I know, it is late in the season but not for lack of trying. We started talking to landscapers in February but no one followed through with a quote. Very frustrating. Then it became a DIY with lots of help. We live in the woods and with all the shade and rocks, we have never had much of a yard. We only mow 4-5 times a season. But that is about to change. We trying to REALLY get a yard.
One of my favorite things to do is go to parks and historic sites and play at being an artsy photographer. This was a special day with my like-minded daughter. We actually found lots of nice patches of moss, some even had snails hanging out, for The Moss Patch.
Things are never boring here. Painted front door, veggie garden, potted plants, guest room re-do (photos next post), yard sales, pup with ear infections, algebra tutoring, furniture projects...
Blessings to you and yours,
Kelley
