I've placed a potted Hydrangea in the grass. Her winter quarters wait nearby. But first, she must be
photographed. Hugo the dog is already there. Willing to pose.
He tends to act as a "yardstick comparison". At first reluctant. But apparently he has become accustomed
to the task. Maybe he even enjoys it. In this context the "yardstick comparison" is not really called for.
But I have not the heart to disappoint him.
The plant in the pot was purchased to brighten up the terrace. As it turned out, an all summer long
fulfillment and lasting success. Now she is a bit tired, dropping her leaves. It is time for sleep. Around
other Hydrangeas have long since gone to bed.
