Peonies have always been my favorite flower, but lately I'm being swayed by the lovely hydrangea.
Beautiful hydrangea, how do I love thee?
Let me count the ways. . . .
On my table...
or in the garden (well, I wish they were in my garden).
Hopefully next year they will be. Then I can have a vase-full all summer long.
By the way...that quilt? My grandma made it for me when I was 16 years old. It's been used for everything from a bedspread in the college dorm to a picnic blanket. It's colorful and soft and makes me want to take up quilting.
Tomorrow.













We share the same favorites, I love the blue/purple Hydrangea.
Dropping by from SITS.

Those are one of my favorite flowers! We have quite a few and they're all different shades of blue, pink and purple because of the soil. I really should take a photo.

Love those flowers. I love the tiny delicate little petals that make up the whole....so many small things coming together as one big beautiful flower.

Stopping by from SITS...I LOVE hydrangeas and think I have that kind in my front yard...they finally bloomed this year...I think I might need move them, as I think they are getting too much sun...I also have pink ones in the side yard...now I want blue ones too! Hydrangeas and lilacs are my FAVORITES!

These blooms are just beautiful...and if you're a quilter, I'm seriously jealous. SITS sent me by, and I'm glad they did!

Those are beautiful photos, the quilt is lovely. I love the ones that get Cape Cod blue, but I like peonies too. Stopped by from SITS to say good morning.
