I finally cut down my floppy headed
hydrangea blooms today;
and then
tied them up and
hung them up to dry
in my garage--
by the attic stairs...
{Thanks Wanda for the drying tip;))).
Wanda blogs at
"Exuberantcolor.blogspot.com"--
I still cannot get
linky to work right}
Anyway, I hope to be able to use
them in winter decorations.
As a side note, I caught a group of 5 deer beginning to
munch around the fallen-over mopheads
late yesterday afternoon;
and I shooed them away
amidst much of their snorting and
their looking at me as if
I were a crazy lady!!
So, I decided it was time to cut them
or have them eaten up!!
this year...
So, these will NOT be:
DESSERT
FOR
DEER!!!

I ordered my "Hobonichi Techo Weeks"
Planner for 2021 today;
I am still using up the
extra plain pages in my
2019 one; they should last
me until January...
I have been a journaler
since I was old enough
to write, I think; and
I have many notebooks, journals and altered
books that I will use off and on as the
spirit moves me...
This little 7 & 1/4" x 3.5"
hard back book
is perfect for on-the-go
entries...
It fits easily in my pocketbook...
and
I LOVE
their Tomoe River paper..
I was able to order it on Amazon--
my go-to place since Covid
descended upon us..
[NB: I am Not affiliated with Amazon
or Hobonichi in anyway]
here is the Jane Davenport
traveler's notebook cover I use..
isn't she pretty???

Enjoy your Saturday
It was warm enough to sit out a bit here;
in the Low 70's--
Probably the last of the deck-sitting days....;000

I'm glad you could rescue some of those lovely hydrangea heads!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape of your hydrangea blooms.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, you took on the deer and won! Your hydrangeas should be lovely when dried. If you want to enjoy some sooner, you can cut more and just put them in a vase [opaque bec the water gets ugly]; not too much water...just let the water evaporate and they will slowly dry in place.
ReplyDeleteYour journals are lovely> I too have journaled since childhood, but since I write my blog these past 11 years I only maintain my nature journal, and a new one this year, a quilting journal.
We sat out too---tomorrow should be even nicer?
love

Be careful of those deer. Snorting and stomping signals danger and they could charge if they feel threatened. Those hydrangea are so beautiful. Drying upside down is good way to preserve them
ReplyDeleteI guess I have journaled since 1967 although I don't think of keeping a diary as being a journal per se. To me journals are illustrated whereas mine started out as one of those 5 year diaries that teenage girls had back in the day. Your hydrangeas look lovely and I'm so glad you were able to rescue them from the deer.
ReplyDeleteMy mother loved hydrangeas. And they're gorgeous dried.
ReplyDeletePretty flowers and journal cover. I used to journal all the time, but now I just jot down a few sentences in a 5 year diary. I just got a dot journal so I will see how I can use it.
