a blur

This month's been a blur. April ended very sadly for our home. My Hubby's best friend of 25 years died after a tragic motorcycle accident. It is very surreal since we didn't find out until 2 months later. We had plans on visiting him in the summer and it's very hard to believe our dear Tony is gone.

This hydrangea was a gift from him, the first time he visited our home. I don't have a whole lot of partial shade in my garden so it's been very difficult to grow hydrangeas and I love them! I am happy to see this little bush thriving on our porch, especially given its newfound meaning. I plan on transferring it to a better pot.

Tony, we look forward to seeing you later in the most beautiful Garden with the best and first Gardener ever!
