In that charming climate,
Holding his hand,
smell of his honesty and
the fragrance of hydrangea,
locked my beats in his heart and
drove me out from myself."

FUN FACT: Did you know you can change the colors of the blooms on your hydrangeas? I remember my father used to add rusted nails and materials to the soil where the roots grew to turn the hydrangea's flowers to blue.
Read below for an easier, modern day "how-to" method:
"To increase the acidity of your garden's soil, use vinegar! For each gallon of water in your watering can, add one cup of white distilled vinegar and pour on your hydrangeas. The acidity of the vinegar will turn your pink hydrangeas blue or keep your blue blooms from turning pink."
