Because when the sun comes up after a long, dark night
and something that was sweet
has become even sweeter,
you simply must
savor.

My Limelight Hydrangeas are one of my favorite surprises ever. I planted them a few years back for their unbelievably huge blossoms in the perfect shade of lime. Which I adore.
But that first September, when I realized that these backyard beauties were going all strawberries-and-cream on me – just before the rest of the world turned golden-red-orange…
I died.
Here’s to pink, people.
And here’s to enjoying as many more days on the screen porch as humanly possible.
P.S. See another post about my Limelights here, from the year I discovered their secret.
