Hydrangeas
My azaleas are gone but the hydrangeas are just now beginning to bloom. I will show you what they look like in full bloom shortly.
Happy Birthday Baby Sister
Today is my sister's birthday. I was not quite nine and Mama was twenty five when she was born. Mama was much older at twenty five when she had Freda than I was when I had my daughter at that age. Mama was sick before, during, and for quite a while after this last baby was born. I remember she mostly ate only toast and jelly. Our OKC Grandma came to stay with us while Mama was in the hospital and stayed long enough to help Daddy move into a different house before they brought Freda home. We always rented. Speaking of rent houses...we looked at a really pretty house on Sevier Street while I was still in grade school. It had a big picture window and enough bedrooms that we would not have to share. Daddy said we could not get it because the rent was $100.00 a month. I do not remember what should have been the memorable event of bringing a baby sister home from the hospital. I do remember Grandma staying a little while and asking me to take a dish back to a neighbor at the end o
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI wish that we could grow that variety here.
I've always wanted a big 'ol pitcher full of dried hydrangeas.
Have a good one :)
How pretty! I haven't had luck with those here.
ReplyDeleteneat to see them just starting like that!
ReplyDeleteLove hydrangeas but don't have any.I remember my grandmother had lots of them and no azaleas.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorites. Can't wait to see yours in full bloom
ReplyDeleteWe had to relocate ours and I am having to water it often. Hope it makes it!
I really need to move mine -- never do well where they are. Will love to see yours in full bloom!
ReplyDeleteI planted a hydrangea in our back yard when we lived in NC. I have always loved them! They wouldn't do well at all here. :-(
