My friend’s garden Sunday October 5th. Eileen has the most gorgeous flowers. The dahlias are huge. Roses are still blooming. So many vibrant colors to capture Sunday morning. Here are just a few.

Hydrangeas in Shade and Sun
This hydrangea bush was in Joan’s garden when she moved into her home in 1973. She’s done nothing to feed it.
“The name hydrangea comes from the Greek words “hydor” meaning water and “angos” meaning vessel. Which together roughly translate to “water barrel”. This is because of the fact that hydrangeas are notorious for needing lots of water and the cup shaped flowers. The name, Hortensia, is a Latin version of the French word Hortense.” From Plant Addicts website
Spring in Autumn
After school, I was knitting at Ann’s again.
Her hydrangeas contrast with the turned leaves caught my eye as I left to go to my car. A balmy temperature and a gorgeous Autumn light. Unseasonably warm November afternoon.
