Faith, Hope, Love.

"Faith is a flower springing from the sod, With face turned ever toward the light of God; When beaten to the earth by storm and rain, 'Tis Hope that lifts it toward the sun again; It fills its mission if it but imparts A Love of beauty unto human hearts."

__A. A. B. Cavaness.

Flash, Beth thinks Chuck has had a Good Idea

As you may know, Beth doesn’t like all of my ideas for the courtyard, some might say she doesn’t like any of my ideas. She’s rejected great ideas like; having a birch tree, a Japanese Red Maple or Wisteria in the courtyard. Even the Prime Rose and Lilies where rejected, (but I snuck them in anyway). My latest idea is to take the perennial sun flowers out to the G2G prairie and plant Climbing Hydrangea against the north wall. The Climbing Hydrangea are really neat, they grow to be 70-80 feet tall and have 10 inch big white flowers. They probable won’t get that big here in Minnesota. And guess what, Beth likes this idea. I think this is a first.

Hi Chuck, This blog is a great idea - I also like the climbing hydrangeas. I have never heard of them but the picture is beautiful and that wall would be a good spot. We are still in sunny Gulf Shores, Alabama and hope not to be home until winter loses it's grip on Minnesota and it is time to be out in the garden. When will that be? Best wishes to all. Marlene
