Foto Friday -- Fashionably Late :)

This picture contains flowers from my 87 year old Father's garden. Although he has arthritis and spinal stenosis, he tends to his garden every year.

Today he cut the flowers in the picture and we took them to Mother's grave. I'm sure she will enjoy them.

LOL -- Fashionably late -- I'll say. That hydrangea is really beautiful. We have several plants here, but certainly not as beautiful as that. Thanks for sharing.....Mike

Happiness is where we find it, but rarely where we seek it.

GentleBen ~~ Yes, very fashionably late but I knew we were taking flowers to Mother's grave site so I purposely waited to take the pic.

Re: The hydrangea: Dad says he puts coffee grounds on the soil around the hydrangea plants. He ends up with some very blue and/or purple-blue flowers. And huge flowers!

Thanks for stopping by.

17 ~~ Ain't love grand? Mother passed away in Feb '07 and when the spring & summer months are here, Dad takes flowers to Mother. She loved his garden/the yard full of flowers...he loves planting and tending to them.

Thanks for stopping by.
