Friday Blooming.....

I am posting short and sweet today...The blooms below were cut 11 days ago right before the Realtor was to come..... and they are still beautiful and full...no wilting...I followed the tip to cut early, lightly crush the ends of the stems with a hammer, and plunge into a vase of ice water. It REALLY works for longevity of your bouquet...The flowers give testimony.



sigh....I love Blue. I love hydrangeas. Everytime I enter my bathroom, I smile.

Dontcha Love those old blue bottles, too????

My computer is ~this close~ to getting tossed!!! I am having so many problems...

My feeds no longer work. I have tried every tip including deleting every single one and renewing the submit...no go.

My commenter ability is flaky.
Some posts I can comment ( on some days) other posts I can't get a comment on at all...not even as anonymous...

my ability to search on Explorer is shot
...some malicious URL has invaded the secret parts, and I am going to have the innards wiped this weekend. It is hiding...Full Scan has shown NO threats...

I don't know if it is my computer, my server, or Blogger, or.. all three ganging up against me, but right now it is a wretched time stealer attempting to do ANYthing - so if it appears I am not visiting, or I am not commenting, I'm just sayin....Hopefully my gal will get things fixed this weekend.

Closing with some previous photos of my favorite flowers...






















And even at CHRISTMASTIME...yes!...you can still be using these flowers (dried blooms) in your home feathering!!



I LOVE HYDRANGEAS!!!! With 8 bushes in the yard, I was blessed to feel free to cut as many blooms as I wanted to bring INSIDE, and still have many left to grace my yard....
Will I be able to have these favored flowers in IOWA???? Oh!!! I do hope so!!!!

Grace and Hugs and Blessings to all who may drop by this Friday...Hoping my compy gets healed this weekend...

God bless our military HEROES!!!

Great tip on making the hydrangeas last longer! Mine are trying to dry out now. Love them dried!
Have you dumped your cookies? Do you know how to dump them? That will clean so much out of your system. If you don't- email me and I will walk you through it.

I was hoping you were posting that your house was sold and you were on your way to Iowa!

House hasn't sold yet? It's so beautiful
I don't understand why it hasn't. Not
that I want you out of my wonderful home
state!
Thanks for this great tip on the flowers.
I love hydrangeas too.
Hugs!
