Fall Hydrangeas

Although it's hard to choose a favourite flower, hydrangeas are up among the top five on my list. I love them all year round. Now, in autumn, they turn pinky brown and dry perfectly. One of my plants just bloomed with a new blossom, you can see the blue ball there on the right.

Pale, muted, yet still so beautiful. We are enjoying a wonderful autumn - very little rain has fallen so far and the skies have been mostly sunny and blue. A good time to take long walks and store up the sunshine for darker days ahead.

  1. Hi Lorrie! How are you?

    Those are so pretty. I miss my hydrangea bush. We have one in this house but it could never compare to what we had. It is a wonderful time of year to soak in the warm sunshine while we still have it!

    Blessings!

Thank you for your comment. I read and value each one, cherishing the connections we can make although far apart. Usually, I visit your blog in return, although if you ask a question I try to contact you directly.

  Oh the rain. It drums down on the skylight. There are great puddles on the streets and sheets of water spray when cars drive through them....
