For Angela & America

Due to copious amounts of rain this year, which delayed or ruined many of my usual Spring blooms, I missed taking my annual bouquet to my friend Angela on her birthday.

I was so excited when I learned that her entire family would be congregating at her house this weekend for their family reunion because I knew I could give her a belated birthday wish in the form of hydrangeas from my yard. They are the perfect shade of blue, and when pared with deep green hosta leaves, some patriotic ribbon and a flag, they make an ideal display to greet Angela's guests as they come in the front door.

Happy Belated Birthday Angela! I hope your reunion is a huge success and you know how much I value your friendship.

Happy Birthday America! Thanks for being the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Beautiful hydrangeas...our neighbors have some like that. I'm tempted to sneak out and clip some. Must resist temptation.
