This is the one I have that blooms on new wood. It's a pinky winky. I prune 2/3 of it off every spring and it still grows to over 4 feet tall.

Wow! Beautiful, msrock!!!

Ha ha. That pic isn't mine. I googled it so I could show everyone what that breed looks like. They are beautiful and have cone shaped flowers instead of round. And the flowers color subtly over time. I will post a pic of mine when it blooms. It really is beautiful. I'm amazed at how massive it gets. I didn't know what it would do when I bought it because I had never seen one before. But thank you! and happy mothers day! To all of you. aww

Here's a pic of mine from last year before it bloomed. It's the big plant in the back on the right. Like I said, it gets big! The flowers are really big too!

I love your hydrangea FWM. I don't think you will kill it. I have 2. One that blooms on old wood and one that blooms on new. They do really well with very little care. Pretty much just watering. Last year the one that blooms on old wood didn't flower, but I may have pruned it too much. Sometimes they will skip a year and not flower though, so that may have been what happened. Hopefully it flowers again this year. I love hydrangea's. They are one of my favorites.

You don't live in Zone 8A, msrock. I used to live, within 70 miles or so, of where you are.

Keeping potted plants alive, in North Texas, requires attention.

During July, and August, especially.

If you miss a day, of watering...your plants will die. And, gosh, they will die, quick. cry

Potted plants are the devil, here. If you don't keep them watered, they are done.

When I go to Ohio, for my two week visit, after the 4th of July....I may very well come home to dead plants.

I hope not. But gosh, it has happened in the past.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed, that I have better luck, this year. smile

I love beautiful gardens, but I fully blame my mom for stealing all the 'green thumb' genes. I kill everything. I try so hard, and I always fail. But they are pretty while they last.

About a foot of snow fell. Wet, heavy snow. DD is loving it.

A lady at my church comes up to me every week and asks me where she knows me from. She worked at my hospital years ago and we crossed paths pretty much every day. It's a shame she can't remember asking me the same thing every week.

Hole crapola!

We have been running the A/C all week & keep nudging the temp down a degree.

I even pinned my hair up at work because I just can't get cool.

Can I come roll around in your snow?

A new remote?

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

hahahaha no. FWM is bringing me a remote. When we went to the outlet mall the other day I tried on some Sketchers Go Walk shoes. They were awesome. So completely comfortable. They are slip on's. But they have a really cool non skid bottom. They have the memory foam stuff in them. It's like walking on air. I didn't buy them though. DN came over tonight and she had bought me a pair for mothers day.

And the card was so cute. She wrote, I know I've kept you on your toes all these years but now you can relax.

NAOW · Vette's SS

Aw, that was really sweet!

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

It was. They are pretty pricey shoes. $60. When we went shopping DH had just gone back to work. I didn't want to spend a bunch of money. I was going to get some the next time we met up! lol

Oh my gosh, that is awesome! I love those shoes! smile

As a matter of fact, don't let me buy anything other than, another pair of those shoes, grill toys for Irene and Phil, and lunch. smile

No clothes for me. I'm going out the back door, pretty quick! wink

I can't wait till tomorrow! smile

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

LOL Those shoes are sooooooooooooo comfortable! She did awesome. I'll be wearing them tomorrow! She was laughing hysterically at me when I put them on. I was bouncing around the living room singing Put one foot in front of the other... And soon you'll be walking out the dooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrr. Then I was doing this exaggerated walk and she was cracking up and told me if I didn't stop she was going to record me and put me on You Tube!

What color did she get you?

I need to be more daring! wink

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

She got the black ones. I was happy she did that though. I can wear them with most anything. I really liked the bright colors but some of those would look just plain gaudy if you wore them with other things. I'd gladly get those colors though! The pink ones are gorgeous but I don't even think I have anything pink!

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Man, sharing my birthday with mother's day means horrendous wait times at the restaurants!

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Part of me, really wants to get the pink ones. biggrin

We'll see. Tomorrow. wink

Well, it already is "tomorrow" here. So I beat you to it.

i know what Vette means. Being right before Christmas, its almost impossible to get into the good places because of all the Christmas parties taking up the reservations.

Just because you don't remember it happening, maybe because it didn't happen, the year he was born. 
His birthday, is like mine. It will happen on Easter Sunday, once in a while.

My birthday is close to Thanksgiving so it gets overlooked every year. Except from my immediate family. Growing up, my cousin was born 2 days after mine. My aunt would always have a birthday cake for him at Thanksgiving. But me, nope.
