This Hydrangea is working so hard, this is my early morning harvest for the week

This Hydrangea is working so hard, this is my early morning harvest for the week

My child #1 helped put them in the vases, I try to teach her life long survival skills. Flower arranging is one, because it will keep you out of the therapist’s office. The pink were bought last year, they were blue when we bought them, but color is decided by the soil in which it sits. So we planted six & four made it- 3 are pink, 1 purplish…These full vases will be put in most of the rooms in the house. There was honey SUCKel, which grows on a vicious vine all wrapped up in my big blue Hydrangea. Honey SUCKel smells good at 50 feet. At 10 feet, it smells cheap & easy, baby.

“Take us to your leader, we come in peace & beauty”

So they are bought everywhere now so full of blossoms, it tricks you into thinking, they would look like that in your home. I was given one as a stunning gift, it came in a beautiful blue pot, the flowers were a purplish in color. They were stunning for 5 days, then all the flowers fell off, so I cut the stick, then the leaves turned brown. So I’m going to get an impossible to kill plant & stick it into that beautiful pot. The shadows across the petals are from the ceiling above.

I saw her & told me kids to FREEZE! THey did, but asked a million times why. After I got a shot or three, I said, “its a cat” the run forward to see it. The cat quickly took off. Both of them said they wish they could see what it looked like. “Kids, this is what the cat looked like”
