Under The Boardwalk: Saturday Snapshot

Saturday Snapshot

I know I've shared a picture of my hydrangeas already this week, but I am so thrilled with them this summer!

The before picture was taken right before I left two weeks ago to work at a basketball tournament.

The after is when I arrived home after the hot, hot weather.

If I could learn how to dry them, I would be in hydrangea heaven! I've tried difference processes with some success, but know I could do better. Do you have any drying tips?

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme hosted by Alyce of At Home With Books post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don't post random photos that you find online.
