#sol24 June 11 Should I Stay or Should I Go?



A"For Sale" sign appeared across the street and I started thinking that just maybe, this MIGHT be the time to take advantage of the HOT real estate market.  

Homes in my neighborhood are selling like "hot cakes" for prices that seem incredible.  I really do not need this whole house anymore. I'm tired of home improvement projects and water in the basement issues/ Plus, there would be no more "Come On Over" porch-parties on hot summer nights and there would be no more "Just Because" snowblower services for my little stretch of sidewalk. 

Then, as if on cue, the fruit of five summers of planting, feeding, and nurturing reluctant hydrangeas appeared like huge stacks of "hot cakes" in both my front and my back yard.  I'm guessing that the rainy winter and spring had something to do with them. It's also slightly possible that the pricey "magic hydrangea potion" I bought on impulse last summer helped. 

No matter the reason, this is their season and they seem to say that we are right where we should be right now!

Glad your hydrangeas are in bloom. Our bush in the backyard is loaded with blossoms, but they have not yet bloomed. Waiting patiently for that to happen. arjeha

Gardening patience. I am glad that you see the blossoms of your many years of care.

I stopped to read because I wanted to know what the hydrangeas were saying, and I was not disappointed. Glad they provided the affirmation you needed.

There is no other flower as gorgeous to me as a hydrangea. They have pH personalities of their own and seem to say relax and stay awhile! So glad they carried your needed message.

The bountiful hydrangeas say this is the time to savor your space, not rush to sell. The personal touches that make your house a home would be missed.
BTW: Why aren't my hydrangeas out yet? We're quite a bit further south from you. (Now I'm slightly worried.)
