The Flower of Yesteryear

Nothing says yesteryear than hydrangeas. One look at this beautiful snowball flower and I imagine antique lace, doilies, and the hint of Scarlett O'Hara whispering to Rhett.
I have never been lucky enough to grow hydrangeas. For some reason, I lack that green thumb required to produce these beauties.
Send me your photos of the hydrangeas in your yard. I can't wait to see them!

I have a hydrangea that has about 1000 blooms readying themselves! I'll be sure to take lots of shots;)

I have no hydrangea. I've just never gotten around to them. I'll have to look at MPM's!

Very lovely! My mom had a snowball bush when we were kids, but I don't know if that's a hydrangea or not. She always wanted a blue hydrangea bush, but blue would grow in Iowa soil, she was told.

Never had a Hydrangea and probably never will... While I love them for the reasons you do, my husband does not.

Its not about a green thumb, its about nitrates .. seriously, ask at a garden center what you need to add to the dirt in your garden/yard to get them to grow.

Calm Before The Storm

Is it because you feel small?  Is it because you fell I inadequate?  Do you not look at both sides of a story?  Let's just go first to violence. Innocent business owners don't deserve this violence. They are small business owners.  Hard working people. Whites. Blacks. Latino. Ruin their lives because clearly you do not know the facts. 12 people spent 70 hours listening to 60 witsnesses over a period of time.

Yeah, you know better.

Does Anyone Read This Any more?

I feel the need to share again. To put my thoughts on the table for those to read. Nothing earth shattering, I don't think, but none the less, I feel the need.

Turmoil? Unrest? No...perhaps wishing for a little more happy in my life. How do I find a little more happy? You can't rely on other people to make you happy. Happiness comes from within.  Happiness comes from myself.  I am responsible for my own happiness.  There it is.

How shall I proceed to find that happiness?  Getting involved in my creative side?  Allowing that instinct to flow once again?

Since the company I worked for closed last year, I have felt as though there was a void in my life.  The void stems from not having that financial security I once had.

 Oh, I have a part time job in a field I never thought I'd enter.  Food industry.  It's fun actually, but I'm sure that is because I work with a awesome woman who is my friend.  A person I thought would never give me the time of day.  She's tall, …

Three days off...
