Once upon a time I use to shop for shoes and clothes. Now I drag my toddler down the building supplies and paint aisles on a regular basis. This is what I was doing on Tuesday morning when I spotted a bunch of hydrangeas on sale at Home Depot.
I have always loved hydrangeas. When I saw these 6 inch potted ones on sale, I quickly snatched up 3 of them. After picking up the rest of my supplies, I headed straight home so I could avoid spending more money. Olivia was still awake so I decided to delve right into my impromptu gardening project with the help of her eager little hands. Here’s what we managed to do in less than 15 minutes:

I’m not a regular gardener. I was probably more enthusiastic about beautifying my backyard during the early years of home ownership before my kids came along.

Hopefully these lovely perennials will still be beautiful at the end of the season!
