It is summer here in Oregon! Yeah! The sun is shining and we have actually turned on the air conditioner. The hydrangeas are in full bloom in the garden so they helped fill my pretty quota for the week. Enjoy!

Enjoy the pretty in your week. Let me know what you find!






























I miss seeing my pretty blooms in the backyard. I can’t believe are just blooming! I’ve always wanted to get one of the lime ones.
Your pictures are so pretty! Makes we want to sit in a garden and eat a bowl of Cherries!
I can imagine how much you are enjoying your beautiful garden! I love hydrangeas and never knew there were so many different varieties.
Love, love, love your pictures and look forward to your pretties each week. What a JOY and a BLESSING to have such an awesome garden. I keep telling myself–next summer. THANKS for sharing!
Your backyard is so relaxing and enjoyable, everyone should be able to experience it at least once!
