Summer snow


The aging process has you firmly in its grasp
if you never get the urge to throw a snowball.

  7. Beautiful snowball hydrangeas! :) My blue hydrangeas are in full bloom as well! Last year I got ONE bloom and I think my husband ran over it with the lawnmower! This year I have so many blooms I am giving them away! SO PRETTY!
    In the wintertime, when I remember to do it, I make snowballs and pack them in the freezer for a real snowball fight in the summertime! SO FUN! Especially when you surprise someone with the first one! :) Try it if you think of it! :)
    Blessings!

  39. Hi Saskia, When the hydrangeas bloom, they make me smile - though I must travel down from my mountain to enjoy them because they won't grow at altitude. Luckily, I have plenty of snow for snowballs, but I am enjoying a brief respite! Have a happy weekend.

  59. I got a snowball bush a couple of weeks ago that is all ready to go into the ground of my new garden. I think that I'll just wait a little before I garden, though. It needs to be a bit cooler! =]
