An unexpected get-away

This morning I awoke to a glorious sunny day!
The coolest temperature we have had in months!
And to this hydrangea!

I had just picked it...
Brought it in...
And placed it on the bathroom window ledge in the cottage...
When my sweet hubby called
"Join me"
He will be away for another day so...
I am!
I am bringing along two new books!
Both fabulous so far!
And his truck so that I can go treasure hunting!

Before I leave I wanted to share my garden pick of the day with you!


It will have faded when I return so I leave it with you to enjoy!
Here on my bathroom window's ledge!

  2. I love hydrangeas but have never planted any...not sure why. Well it's most likely because I have a brown thumb.

    How fun to be meeting your hubby on an unexpected getaway. Enjoy your time hunting for treasures!

  6. It is absolutely my favourite flower, you can never have enough Hydrangea. The one adorning your powder room is such a soft and delicate colour. Gorgeous.

  10. Ooooo....I'm jealous--of your beautiful blue hydreangea & your get away! (Not really...) My hydrangeas are the pink & green, still so pretty. And my hubby has promised me a little mini vacation later on in Sept. or Oct. after he finishes a job. It doesn't take much to get me excited anymore! :)

    Have a wonderful time with your hubby.
