I hope you aren't getting SICK of seeing pictures of my gardens but since all I can do IN the house is KEEP IT CLEAN AND READY TO SHOW, I have to take pics outside:):)  Pictures of me cleaning would REALLY be boring, and NOT pretty:):) As I said before, we have 10 hydrangea bushes and they are all in different stages of bloom, depending on where they are and what light they get. Isn't this a pretty color! The edges are just tinted with blue.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7Pk5ftTWEFyOW-ZfTqOo7IoY7fidG77agBBJvNOt3zI91sdrmFz4XyYmPnNMO4TmFxUFB39OTiO-DCBEhDkRQgEkEwMarxZ1aLZ12t8XNGBauOZkYMeu8oKWM-9y5nadpaah-oEVLXST/s1600/IMG_1225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr7Pk5ftTWEFyOW-ZfTqOo7IoY7fidG77agBBJvNOt3zI91sdrmFz4XyYmPnNMO4TmFxUFB39OTiO-DCBEhDkRQgEkEwMarxZ1aLZ12t8XNGBauOZkYMeu8oKWM-9y5nadpaah-oEVLXST/s640/IMG_1225.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> We did get 15 YARDS of mulch spread. That is a MOUNTAIN of mulch people, trust me. I am taking this pagoda with me to the new house. We bought it many years ago and now they are VERY expensive. Plus I have the perfect spot in mind at the new house.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBlng-nVIWXqMKPqCxq_kf3T5mDMqk_6SxhHlxg9r8CFj99t7mvUP_8JcT-Jt-oRIFVCz7zt3AddDAdgFXWe8XDYgKfdHYKYUaimMlVr5mgFdwaIbRboCW7we_gd1DFUKIB4LJUi5WQgW2/s1600/IMG_1226.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBlng-nVIWXqMKPqCxq_kf3T5mDMqk_6SxhHlxg9r8CFj99t7mvUP_8JcT-Jt-oRIFVCz7zt3AddDAdgFXWe8XDYgKfdHYKYUaimMlVr5mgFdwaIbRboCW7we_gd1DFUKIB4LJUi5WQgW2/s640/IMG_1226.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> After I took these shots I did cut all the blooms that were lying on the ground and brought them in. They are so pretty in the living room.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRfgSFXhNzn0vHEc23B4KMkEYmKMB8n_otgC3I7wzcL3jc8aiCeM-vqRywx4p3mAL0x-eLVjAJw_eLBc3NAR6I9Bbmdf-Fp5BhvTkpQLKPkBj7te1q2PpD9m4kbDmmRhaoAyHeGLUHp7W/s1600/IMG_1227.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilRfgSFXhNzn0vHEc23B4KMkEYmKMB8n_otgC3I7wzcL3jc8aiCeM-vqRywx4p3mAL0x-eLVjAJw_eLBc3NAR6I9Bbmdf-Fp5BhvTkpQLKPkBj7te1q2PpD9m4kbDmmRhaoAyHeGLUHp7W/s640/IMG_1227.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> That bush is way in the back yard. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6_ebZ-DfzxeWK3F21QrNWWNz7RGeSdUMKYVmvbPBoTVESIANDsdM3VKpC-sRLYBKQUuEVrlKrq1_E_1vOzvidHPZCEB0-cby1D9SD_rIzQvWUUn4A8-pR3benN9T6fkNUByjwFGE11lo/s1600/IMG_1228.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf6_ebZ-DfzxeWK3F21QrNWWNz7RGeSdUMKYVmvbPBoTVESIANDsdM3VKpC-sRLYBKQUuEVrlKrq1_E_1vOzvidHPZCEB0-cby1D9SD_rIzQvWUUn4A8-pR3benN9T6fkNUByjwFGE11lo/s640/IMG_1228.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This bush was WHITE for over 20 years. Then 2 years ago it bloomed blue. The only thing I can think of is that when they put the new driveway in, it changed the PH of the soil???? I miss having one white bush....<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-0Ia5rXyph_OdgYRZrsfqkuaKhQaLAP1bkBqMEbikM7C7uAStbcDC1lqIrFUCgDgovDPGF11UAZtJ-VPCeVrGPZUkGbeUjuhw9mN4BRa9FsQUIiJ1WreYg2akM9JoGdz9YRlfy8QO3gLV/s1600/IMG_1229.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-0Ia5rXyph_OdgYRZrsfqkuaKhQaLAP1bkBqMEbikM7C7uAStbcDC1lqIrFUCgDgovDPGF11UAZtJ-VPCeVrGPZUkGbeUjuhw9mN4BRa9FsQUIiJ1WreYg2akM9JoGdz9YRlfy8QO3gLV/s640/IMG_1229.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> White astilbe in shadow.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhruFXbEmJURrfTqQHqoTxAexG_bYagE25kEdl_liDj2gSbc6uqKwXsFvVtttXVgDIdJCiOuYVvz9_HJW7caNr8t_IylCVfRdmFvFb-AGlxq-cFj0i31JQ33oDqoUIqOhCGb1m5lKBDhoT7/s1600/IMG_1230.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhruFXbEmJURrfTqQHqoTxAexG_bYagE25kEdl_liDj2gSbc6uqKwXsFvVtttXVgDIdJCiOuYVvz9_HJW7caNr8t_IylCVfRdmFvFb-AGlxq-cFj0i31JQ33oDqoUIqOhCGb1m5lKBDhoT7/s640/IMG_1230.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> Pink astilbe.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1IP6WQylkLepa_nm6nu4IokASYoir8F5ih-2iKGHmI4mIOEnmHrsbGGAbYArxeBqpGe2zsZfQ2DyW8m5r70tzMpnm_KU2vFoM1XbkH6_MB2ur82oyQFueZt-Ln4BAwwKSIkfPnWH3x9E/s1600/IMG_1231.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgW1IP6WQylkLepa_nm6nu4IokASYoir8F5ih-2iKGHmI4mIOEnmHrsbGGAbYArxeBqpGe2zsZfQ2DyW8m5r70tzMpnm_KU2vFoM1XbkH6_MB2ur82oyQFueZt-Ln4BAwwKSIkfPnWH3x9E/s640/IMG_1231.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> This is the side yard off the kitchen.

When they brought in the BIG piece of equipment to do the perk test for the septic they dug up beautiful blue hostas and other plants.
