Limelight Hydrangeas are in Bloom

 When the Limelight Hydrangeas are in bloom it calls for a party.  They bloom late in the summer and are very large bushes.  They require very little maintenance and no watering.  In February I cut the limbs back and that is it.

I have decided on the menu, trying to make it colorful.  Ina's corn salad with the addition on drained black beans and vidalia onions instead of red onion.  Mixed fruit, and Tomato pie from Cook's Illustrated.  This is the Tomato Pie recipe location, http://www.seattletimes.com/life/food-drink/recipe-summer-tomato-pie/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_left_1.1  and Corn Salad recipe, http://barefootcontessa.com/recipes.aspx?RecipeID=635&S=0  .   I hope that you are encouraged to invite a few friends and celebrate the end of summer with Limelights.

New Mexico is a destination that will take your breath away. Hiking is a national pass time in the area, make sure that you take your hiking shoes and several containers of water.
