October Hydrangeas

One more tribute to my Hydrangeas.

It's turning into a collection -

of dried blooms around my house.

Visually they please me so to look at them.

Thanks to Sarah and her camera and photography skills, I have this picture of dried blues in an amber vase which Kate gave me several years ago.

My outdoor arrangement put together in September has taken on an October look -

and still on the bushes mauves and blues remain even into fall .

This last one amazes me - ever hopeful - perseverance even when the garden is shutting down -

I am traveling to McDonough, GA today - by way of Auburn - having lunch with Kate and Laura Beth - and riding to McDonough with Laura Beth.

I'll post during the week from Laura Beth's computer and will be back in Scottsboro on Friday.
