The garden is beginning to get that feel. You know, the feeling that it's slowing down, yawning and anxious to fall asleep. Or is that the feeling I have? Sitting in the gazebo, I'm noticing small things that are still lovely despite the shorter sunny days and cooler nights.
I cut some Endless Summer hydrangeas yesterday. Their bright blue flowers have turned to that spectacular green with tinges of dusky pink. They will dry in the house over the next few months, changing colors and gaining that wonderful vintage look.
A small posy to brighten a garden corner. I'm planning to plant more Spring blooming bulbs later in November when the earth has cooled.
As we know.........a garden is never finished.

Your hydrangeas are such a pretty color now. Is that a pink birdhouse with a vintage book as a roof? That is a wondeful idea!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to creating some gardens at my new home.
Beautiful photo's as always, the green hydrangeas are lovely.

ReplyDeleteHi Mary.... I haven't done a thing in my garden as far as winterizing goes yet... too cold already, and it's been raining most of the day today.... anyway, are you back home in NC by now? I was reading old post and found out you were visiting my home town, Boise, ID. I could not believe my eyes when I saw all your pictures, especially the ones of you in front of the State Capitol.... that's where I work! Or use to work until renovation began back in 2006.... hopefully our office will be back to that lovely building before the end of the year.... I'm glad you enjoyed our wonderful little city... I wish I had known you were coming...

It is a rainy, cold day here in NE Georgia, so no garden work for me. I have a few hydrangea blooms to cut too, and I am going to take some cuttings to root in water.
