  2. Kathleen I hope you got them! It sounds like you put a lot of work into it. Hmmm, all white. I'll have to think on that one.

  3. LOVE the wave shot ... I can smell the salt!

    Or maybe that's low tide I'm smelling. . . .

    Gorgeous pics of flowers. Hydrangeas seem to grow extra nicely on Long Island -- we had HUGE ones at the original beach house. Sadly, the contractor didn't save them as he was supposed to when he took down that house to build the current one.

    He was from Hampton Bays . . . the wrong fork. :-P

    And yes, I've got all white dishes, and I know how to use them!

    Still trying to get out East. Maybe next week.

  14. Hydrangeas have been on this non-gardener's mind for many years. But, you know my luck with flowers (except for lilies) so I've stayed away from planting them.

    All your lovely flowers continue to thrive, and I particularly have a soft spot in my heart for the white hydrangeas.

    In any case, I've missed all my favorite blogs, and it will take some time to catch up with all of you, but it'll be fun trying.

  15. I never tire of seeing your gorgeous hydrangeas ... 11 inches, WOW.

    But, the lilies are GORGEOUS. Wonderful picture

    I'm pretty sure you could have shown us LOTS more pictures of white dishes.

  16. That is one big honkin' hydrangea, Kathleen!! Gorgeous, too! So what DID happen with the widgets and your problems? I will put my brain to work for this Let There Be White party!

  17. yes i think all the rain has helped the hydrangea's this year. Yours are huge and your lilies are magnificent. What's a widget? well I think I remember reading about them but never really understood it.
    Take care,

  19. My hydrangea is finally blooming this year and is a dark purple. Small blooms though.
    Yours are really pretty. I am jealous.
    The picture with the candlelit table is so elegant. Makes me want to serve dinner at 10 p.m. just to have the low light.
