Magic.....

  Thank you dear friend Diane at Lavender Dreamer.   Diane sent me a card to bring me elfin magic.:):)  So cute.  I think it worked too.
 Here's the magic it brought me. I looked at my hydrangea and it had grown many flower heads.  So I picked one for inside. One flower filled the jar vase...one flower makes a bouquet.  Now that's magic ! One year these hydrangeas were green, now they are pink.  I have a hydrangea that I am absolutely going to transplant, it's only about a foot tall. I do not know what is happening with it.
   The fourth is just around the corner now. Time to be preparing veggies for making salads for the family get together. It's going to be a busy weekend.  Wishing all of you a  good Wednesday. XO

    My hydrangea won't bloom for about another month here. I can't get the colors to grow---even by adding the proper acid to the soil. Gotta love that Diane, don't you? xo Diana

      Diana, I hope your weather works for you...once the flowers come along. I have not had such a good year with my plants I need to find more way to get color going. Maybe fake flowers. LOL. Those darn rabbits ate my pretty petunias .I do love Diane...she's just too sweet. LOL. Some times my blog family is surprising. :):) Blessings, xoxo,Susie

      Sylvia, the hydrangea that I mentioned transplanting was a mother's day gift about 3 years ago. It is not acting right...so I need to help it out. Blessings for many flowerheads on your plant, xoxo,Susie

      Missy, There's a house in town that the hydrangea has every color on it...it just makes wish to own one. LOL. I love the truly blue colors though. I am just amazed at how big one flowerhead can be. I know there a food to give them for the colors you prefer. I have to let nature takes it course here, most times. Bless you, xoxo,Susie

      Judy, Yes I do love hydrangeas...they make me think of an English garden. Peonies are just as pretty but do not hold up as well in wind and rain. Hope you are enjoying some pretty flowers and good weather. xoxo,Susie

      Maybe you could get one for a special day. I did get one of mine for mother's day. I do know the color depends on the acidity of your soil. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

      Gert, we try to keep the lawn nice...but it is a job ...some times almost too much. I did love having the girls visit and then Emma stayed two night. I have missed her so much. Hey do not ever worry about your typing...my gosh I send things out with letters missing or in the wrong spot so many times...it is as if I am not speaking English. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    That hydrangea is just so pretty! I had a blue hydrangea which is now pink. Wonder why they change.

    That was sweet of Dianne to send you that card.

      Kathy, Your hydrangea has changed due to the acidity in your soil. I think the more acid in your soil the bluer the flower. But I have seen them with all shades of blue lavender and pink on the same plants.?? so what is going on there I have no clue. LOL. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

    I wish we could grow them here. I sometimes buy them cut at the gourmet grocery store but they only last a few days! So pretty!

      Japolina, Hi honey, I do miss you. Do you re-cut the stems before you put them in water, that might help. But I think hydrangeas look good even dried. Blessings to you and your fellows, xoxo,Susie

    What a cute card Diane sent you, Susie. She is such a creative blog friend. Your pink hydrangeas are very pretty.

    This Fourth of July is not so nice for us, as my brother-in-law is being operated on right now. (don't want to go into it on the comment), You're the first one I told in blog land. Please say a prayer for him, dear Susie.

    love, ~me
