I was so sad that my neighbors just pulled their hydrangeas out, I would have rescued it.

Even my succulents had become flat from lack of moisture(we don't have anyone able to water the plants for us). I loved catching up with your wonderful safari posts. I adore elephants! They truly are such magnificent creatures. And the young male lion getting his mane was just gorgeous! Have a wonderful week.

I have some from almost 8 years ago, though I was just thinking it was probably time to toss them. ;-)<br />Sorry you are suffering those high temps. Our summer is so much better than last, that we can't complain. We are hopeful for rain this week. They say it is possible. <br />Enjoy your Sunday in your cottage.

When we left Paris it was in the 70's. Charlotte was 102 degrees. The joys of southern summers! Look forward to more vacation chronicles.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457380718488241980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-65528307424172259872012-07-08T06:46:05.039-04:002012-07-08T06:46:05.039-04:00Hi Mary,

(Bird fanatic type of question).<br />Hydrangeas always remind me of my granny, she had a garden full of them and the blues were just like yours and my favourites.<br /><br />I am LOVING your safari posts by the way and Mr Sft and I are getting seriously excited about Botswana. Just 19 days to go!<br /><br />Sft xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17545087114808861192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7310317081887553860.post-54837552255765974722012-07-08T06:08:30.522-04:002012-07-08T06:08:30.522-04:00Poor hydrangeas Mary!
