Back to the 90s - found poems from past Julys

Though this photo is from sis Carolyn's garden, the hydrangea plant in my yard dates back to the 60s. Google Images doesn't have anything I want to republish here, so the hydrangea photo has to suffice.

  2. Some things haven't changed--except for the cast and perhaps change of place. Loved the hydrangeas this year. They were glorious.
