August is in full swing and I still had not shared my yard's bounty. Especially proud of the
hydrangeas and their beautiful blue tones.
This year the color is particularly nice, a bit darker than past years. Can you believe I saved this
flower that was being thrown out by a neighbor, left out for the trash pickup years ago.
Did not even think it would survive.
Clematis made a good show at the homestead too. Lots of grey washed wood here,
I think the color gives an aged appearance.
This is all in my side entrance area and the back of the ell of the house. The house section to the right is the original portion built in 1796. The left side, with the door, is the modern area, added in 1856, when kitchens became in vogue! The entire addition was just kitchen, still is.
thanks for visiting.

The blue hydrangea is so pretty.
your blue hydrangea is beautiful. Mine is all pink. I know I have to fee it something to make it blue. And I love the beautiful flowers on your neighbours "trash" plant. As they say, one person's trash is another's treasure. Have a great week. I am joining you through Mosaic Monday.
The hydrangea is beautiful and the clematis is one of my favorites. Lovely blooms and photos. Have a happy week ahead!
Gorgeous blooms! I love the blue hydrangeas!
Love the hydrangea and clematis. Looks very pretty against the aged wood.
I hope you have a big bouquet on your table. Thanks for the garden tour.
Your hydrangeas are beautiful! My flowers are looking a little peaked with the intense heat we're having here in Louisiana. Thanks for the visit and new follow! I'm now a follower of your blog! Your home is gorgeous!

I have the blue variety of hydrangea in my yard and they won't turn blue. I have tried all the things to do to the soil and still no blue. Can I say how envious I am of yours?!! Visiting from Amaze Me Monday!
