Never had that happen before but maybe I cut when they had too much moisture left in them. They looked more like bouquets of baby's breath. My bouquets from last year looked better... I will pick again soon as I send this off. (*._,*) Hope you make it out to the Fair, cause this is another year we will miss. I sure feel a longing to be there. And am hoping you can share your photo's with us again.

Eureka! <br />Even though I'm not a busy person like you, so involved with my garden, all kinds of groups, etc, I enjoy reading about all your pursuits and how you manage to get them all done on time, neatly fitting each piece in on time! It's very satisfactory! I hope you take satisfaction in being able to be so well organized, energetic, and productive. It really is a blessing. And, I can tell you from personal experience, it's very sad to lode those abilities. I think, because I used to be very much like that, but lost a lot of my energy and also a lot of the spark I need to get going on things, I can really identify with what you're doing - and maybe I'm just being wistful, "I would've even had a life like that, but for my brain injury." Not that I don't have a great life, it's just a whole lot more sedate and slower than yours.<br />By the way I really enjoy that I always never have to prove that I'm not a robot any more! It gives me great satisfactions!

I think I will go outside and pick some more as yours is so pretty.

The neighbor's lawn mowing service had mowed his and that made mine look even worse. It was still 90 degrees out at 6:30 p.m., but at least the humidity was only around 41%. I still need to trim and pull weeds in the front and in the back I will have to get the weed eater out to cut down some grass that has gotten to high for the mower. It is suppose to finally cool off by Saturday so maybe next weekend I can get the rest of the mess cleaned up.patty a.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01861433552460661701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-7791864352868961172015-09-08T07:47:21.570-05:002015-09-08T07:47:21.570-05:00I hadn't thought to dry any of the hydrangea&#...I hadn't thought to dry any of the hydrangea's I must check them todayKaren - Quilts...etc.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07293429657903986492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4049103935243328127.post-76536639480126070062015-09-08T07:32:06.146-05:002015-09-08T07:32:06.146-05:00The MD state fair ended yesterday (Labor day), but...The MD state fair ended yesterday (Labor day), but we have one more county fair to go starting on the 19th of September in Frederick County, MD.<br />(You don't have to enter your county fair prior to being able to enter the state fair in MD.
