For company we needed a spot of color on the table. I brought in the last of the peonies and also a few of the hydrangea. Some hydrangea are still partially green and haven't turned white. My wife turned it into a very colorful bouquet. The hydrangea leaves really add to the arrangement. I have never brought them inside as a cut flower before so we will see how well they do.
We had burgers and brats with all the other good stuff for a great picnic on the patio. Andy and Patricia , our son and his wife from Chicago, were our guests and we had a great time. It became too hot by late afternoon so we came inside and sat at the dining room table for conversation and a cup of coffee. It was cool in the house so the coffee was good to end the time. The birds at the feeder did a great job of showing off by eating at the feeder while we all watched.
Thanks for stopping by my post today.
Beautiful bouquet. Sounds like a lovely time together!
