Nancy - when are you leaving on your trip? Are you still planning on going to DC for the fireworks?

The hydrangeas we are talking about are the ones you provided for our anniversary party. They originally had blue blossoms but are now pink - a very pretty pink. Mine is not as big as Jane's but seems to be quite vigorous. The others are not in very good spots, but I will move them come fall.

We haven't had any rain to speak of and everything looks horrible, even the tomato plants. The sky darkens up every afternoon and the wind blows and we get about 3 or 4 minutes of rain drops - not even enough to get the sidewalks wet!
