Midsummer at the Center

 Hydrangeas by the entrance to the Lakeview Center.



This corner used to always get slammed with water pouring off the roof 2 stories above it...each time it rained. I hope this little evergreen can keep that from happening. It's been really a headache for the landscape efforts.


Today's quote:

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.

    Hello,
    I love the hydrangeas and the black-eyed susans. I hope the evergreen does the job! The gardens look pretty.
    Take care! Enjoy your day! Wishing you a happy new week!

    Nice gardens, but when that evergreen tree/bush grows, it could hamper the AC unit.

      Good thinking...but I doubt it will live so long...a few thunderstorms might knock it down with the water that falls from 2 stories above. It's a new try though.

      Thanks. I haven't run into Addison before, will have to keep an ear out for more of his sayings.

    The landscapers have done a good job. I love how hydrangeas continue to be beautiful as they age.

      Yes, I've enjoyed picking the older dried blooms for dried flower arrangements. But some people don't like anything dead looking around.

Thanks for commenting! I tried moderating, thinking that would be a quicker way to check on comments, but actually it takes more time. So go ahead and talk amongst yourselves, and I'll check in when I can!!
