Hydrangeas & Blueberries...

So my hubby has the day off yesterday and we head out to pick some blueberries. I have been asking for a hydrangea bush for the front yard for a while now, so on the way to the blueberry patch we stop at the nursery to look at the hydrangeas. Look at what we saw at the nursery...Yes, that is a peacock...wandering around a random nursery...the kids were so excited, they had never seen one before. We kept trying to get it to spread its plumes, but it wouldn't cooperate...who needs the zoo when you can see stuff like this at the nursery??

Now for some blueberry picking, they bushes are just getting ripe so we just got a few pounds to start...but you get about 1 pound for around what a 1/4 lb costs in the grocery store!!
Okay, back to the hydrangea story...we come home and are trying to decide where to plant it. Dave has never liked the bushes the builder put in the front of our house...here is what it used to look like...
Now it looks like this!!! We worked out there all afternoon and made this awesome rock garden waterfall!! We love it!! Best part was we found all the rocks around the house and he had spare parts in the garage, so it was FREE!!
My hubby ROCKS!! I know, that was corny...I couldn't resist!!

WOW! Looks like you are all having a fun summer with a few great home projects thrown in!! Summer hasn't really arrived in NH yet!! Unseasonably cool weather and lots of rain! But, it's good for the grass, flowers and vegie gardens! Those strawberries look luscious!!

Love,

Carol
