~~~Around the Yard~~~~~

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last night after dinner I decidee to walk around the yard and take some pictures. The hydrangeas are just starting to flower so I wanted to capture that. This one is a SURPRISE this year: we have had it for at least 20 years and it has always been pure white. This year it is flowering blue! Maybe the chemicals from the new driveway influenced that????<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhelMk-_XPO-e0_8NDh6zFr_w_vzDiPmBjHCpcEM2xaA0k0MBg-kAphyphenhyphenm1jaH2UCDfxr7tCJ1R6G1rJY5uc7ZUQP72muS0RWHUv57OuM3WYr9NolTOLSQjjxOg1_3tE40RbX8CYbSy7GL0g/s1600/IMG_7507.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhelMk-_XPO-e0_8NDh6zFr_w_vzDiPmBjHCpcEM2xaA0k0MBg-kAphyphenhyphenm1jaH2UCDfxr7tCJ1R6G1rJY5uc7ZUQP72muS0RWHUv57OuM3WYr9NolTOLSQjjxOg1_3tE40RbX8CYbSy7GL0g/s320/IMG_7507.JPG" t8="true" width="320px" /></a></div> Aren't they the prettiest things????
