They are all very beautiful! You know I love hostas!<br />I added 8 or 9 new ones this year. I need to get out there and get them labeled before I forget their names!<br />Last winter I decided I needed a break from blogging and now I'm finding it hard to get back to it. Been so busy! Trying to spend more time with my elderly parents and 3 grandkids. I do plan on getting back to it eventually.<br />PearlSerenity Covehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00378941749467418225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-8472665971737646852015-05-25T01:19:05.969-05:002015-05-25T01:19:05.969-05:00It is only natural to know that you develop a liki...It is only natural to know that you develop a liking for different colors every year. Now is green, next year could be blue.<br /><br />When I looked back at the old Chevrolets and Pontiac cars of the 60s & 70s, I wondered how I could like them before. They look funny weirdos now compared to the latest models running on the streets. Human brains changed, the flowers and cars didn't change.Twilight Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04574109866770324683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-89491424188197287562015-05-23T12:17:46.759-05:002015-05-23T12:17:46.759-05:00Very pretty and colorful indeed, in green!
