My first post of Great Southern Beauties was a personal side and as a blogger I feel the only way you will get to know me is to see me and know I have lots of stories and love that I was raised in the south. Not only was I raised in the south my father is a full blooded Lumbee Indian. This post is dedicated to my father and the great southern beauty, "Hydrangea"! My mom and dad raised five kids me being the oldest. My father is the strongest and hardest working man I will ever know. I tell the joke that my father is the reason they have child labor laws! LOL! With that being said my father taught me great work ethic and not to be afraid of anything. My father has a great heart and loves to play in the dirt just like me. In the pic where he is happy about his truck, the trailer behind him and land is where I grew up on a dirt road in the south.
Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there!

HellonDeborah, a pleasure to meet you. What a touching post, dedicated to your dad. Your hydrangeas are gorgeous . I need to plant some more. I would love if you share them at our link party , Dishing It & DI. The party starts every Sunday and is live now.
ReplyDeleteThese are just stunning. I had hydrangea in Ohio and was worried that like peonies I wouldn't be able to grow them in Central Florida, but I have learned there are species that grow well here! I can't wait to get to work on the back yard and have my lovely blooms again! Thanks for sharing at Celebrate Your Story!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful tribute to your father. That is one good thing, they cannot take your memories away. What treasures. I had my first hydrangea this year and it was blue.
ReplyDeleteYour hydrangeas are gorgeous, Debby! You wrote a wonderful tribute to your Dad. Mine passed away twenty-one years ago and I still miss him. Like you, I have many lovely memories of him. Thanks for your post and Happy Summer!
