Empty Nest... Day 133
I went out to the porch today. Sadness, the nest is empty. I missed their flight. There are enough shrubs around I think they are okay. Fingers crossed.

Taking Care of the Church Garden ...Day 108
Some time ago I was approached by the Church Building Supervisor about doing something to lighten up the area around their sign that was in heavy shade and be economical as well as easy care. I chose Lysmachia 'Golden Globes' and Endless Summer 'Blushing Bride' Hydrangea to lighten the area. This is it's third year, still going strong. What do you think? Criticism will not hurt my feelings.
