The weekend, at last.
Time to walk in the garden, and assess the flower situation.
Lots of lime green, mixed with a little vibrant pink.
Rainy days, cooler temperatures, yards of mulch, and organic fertilizer add up to blooms galore.
We had a terrible storm on Monday, and many of my neighbors are still without power. Damaging winds downed many giant, century-old oak, maple, and elm trees.
We lost a tall pine. It could've been a lot worse.
We lost a tall pine. It could've been a lot worse.
It could have damaged more of my hydrangeas. I lost only one.
I'm grateful. Is there anything worse in a garden, than one full of blooms, lying flat as a pancake?
The girls are feeling better, too. Thank you for all of your kind words and thoughts. You're the best.
Wishing you a peaceful, storm-free weekend with lots of sunshine.
I'm joining the fun at the following:

These are so very pretty!
Your pink blooms are gorgeous. I am amazed at all the dangerous weather we've endured this summer across the lake from you. I'm sorry about the loss of your tree. Every time it storms, I pray that our special treehouse dwelling stays firm and strong. Have a lovely relaxing weekend.
Love your hydrangeas! They look so fresh,

Oh dear! I missed the stomach flu saga in your last post. Glad you're all on the mend.
I am also a hydrangea addict. I only have 9, but 45 sounds about right to me!
So glad to hear you are all right and I hope your neighbors are back to normal soon. I always hate to hear about the loss of trees.
Absolutely Gorgeous! I must plant some Hydrangea!

Your hydrangeas are gorgeous. They are such a signature cottage flower and so much to your beautiful gardens.
I have hydrangea love too; your photos are beautiful!
Beautiful! Mine have come and gone.
Wow. Very pretty. Can't wait till I'm ready to plant my shady area...lots and lots of hydrangeas are going in there.

Love..........xxx...
The flower situation is looking very very good:>) Beautiful flowers!
I love that winding path that you have! So glad that you didn't lose power, or have major damage from the storm. Wow, 45 hydrangeas! It must be like a little piece of heaven when they're in bloom. All I have are pink ones, but I keep seeing blue ones, so I think I "need" some of those too!
Great shots of your gorgeous hydrangeas. My favorite! I still have a few that have not bloomed well this year. But my limelight that I recently planted is! Hurray!
Gorgeous. Molly it is like a show home. I can't imagine having that much luscious green this time of year. Everything here is crispy. Thanks for a peek...smiles...Renee

It's a dark rainy day here in Savannah, GA, so I thought I'd just pop over to Birdie Blue for a bit of sunshine!! I adore Hydrangeas and am so glad that the storm didn't do any worse damage to your lovely garden!! Thanks for making my day a little brighter!!Jina
Ohhh......! My fav flower! How beautiful! We had a storm here in SW Mich, too on Monday. It flattened all of the wildflowers surrounding our barn as well as all of the plants in our veggie garden. They've recuperated, but what an awful sight!
What do you feed your hydrangeas to get them so beautiful? Mine are pretty sparse looking and could use some help. :)

Hydrangeas my fav! Yours are absolutely gorgeous! Glad to hear you didn't have much damage. Sounds like it was a bit crazy.
My neighbor has hydrangeas in her yard and i cut some yesterday and brought some home to put on the table -GORGEOUS!
The ones i have here are white ~ But I would love some pink ones.
Have a PRETTY day!

That are my favorite flowers in summer. I like them very much and also have a few of them in my garden.
We cannot really enjoy the garden this summer, because of the weather.
It changes every day and it is very stormy. Sometimes I feel like living on the coast and lots of rain,too.
Have a nice sunday evening and a good start in the week.
Tina
How lovely. Nature knows how to combine the best colors.
Your garden is so lovely! We are off to our new home at the end of the week...I am so planning my garden already. xoxoxo Hugs
Oh my goodness, the hydrangeas are just so beautiful. the colors are lovely and so lush. Thanks for sharing the inspiration of your fabulous garden on VIF, xo Debra
You captured these lovelies beautifully, Molly.

Wonderful hydrangeas...we planted 2 this Spring...can't wait til they get big! Sorry to hear about losing a tree...I would be devastated...I love every tree and flower and shrub in my yard.
