Reversible Holiday Blocks

Endless Summer Hydrangeas
What an amazing fall we’ve had here in Minnesota. I just had to show you all these crazy Endless Summer Hydrangeas. They didn’t bloom at all in the summer, but started putting out tons of buds around the last week in September. We’re going to get a hard frost the next three nights, so I […]

So do the butterflies, but apparently […]
