Just when we had only a block left to go, the rain began to fall again. We just kept walking but decided to take a short cut home. The short cut lead us over a small bridge that stretches over a ditch between our yard and the neighbors yard. This also led us to the back door instead of the front. I’m glad we came in that way because that is when I noticed my sunflower, I planted a few weeks ago, had opened into a beautiful sunshine flower.
I have been keeping an eye on it every day, but as of earlier in the afternoon, It had not opened yet.
Despite the rain, I had to pull out my phone and snap a photo. It contrasted well with the cloudy sky.
Once we got inside and cleaned up, we headed back out to by brother in laws house to check on things while they were out of town. He had a lot of beautiful Hydrangeas in his front yard begging for my attention. So, Nick handed me his pocket knife and I cut a few. I’m sure my brother in law wouldn’t mind. You can’t even tell I stole cut any.
I love how they look in my vintage tea can. I placed a plastic container inside the square can to hold water.
I had a few left over and used a glass vase to put them in. I wanted the Hydrangeas while they were in this ivory color. They also have a greenish tint that the camera really reflected on. They will eventually turn blue.
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite flowers but my most favorite flowers are wild Daisies.
