This area had zero hydrangea blooms or flowers this summer due to -15 temps on bare ground last winter. Literally not one seen anywhere..Now there’s a few blooming in some yards with beautiful blue flowers in mid October. While all the trees yellow and brown and just dropping leaves faster than Ray’s hopes of a good winter are fading
Bugs, bees, flowers and grass growing.. thick green lawns right up to Tgiving. Just a different world than what we grew up with. Friars and freezes always happened by late Sept /Early Oct
