Without a doubt, my favorite time of year is when the hydrangeas have bloomed....not only do they make me feel good just looking at them....it means it summer! Hot! Sticky! Sunny! Sweaty! Humid! Tan! Icees! Pool! Beach! Cold Beer! Sumer Music! No School! Sleep Late! SUUUUUUMMMMEEERR! Not to mention late night runs....hot pavement smells, car lights, iPod blasting, toxins pouring out covering me with salty slick sweat....then- whoosh into the pool...aaaahhhh.
Speaking of hydrangeas....I can't grow em.....but here are some pictures of the ones in my neighborhood. (Blue is still my favorite.) They sorta take my breath away.
On my table at home......oh, how pretty.
For me, it's always been the azaleas...that first blush of color after the long, gray winter. They say, hang in there! Summer's coming! (It's obvious, I know, but I just can't help myself.)
ReplyDeleteMy mom has a rogue hydrangea this year. A whole line of nice, orderly beautiful French blues and then this one pinky-purpley renegade right in the middle. Makes me smile.
Oh yeah..the azaleas are great too! Your mom has a great yard in general...still think about her grape vines.
