These are Hydrangeas.<\/p>\n

They are so full and beautiful. \u00a0However, they are taking over my garden. \u00a0Last year I told myself that I would work on trimming them this<\/span> year (thinking, of course, that I would be able to actually get on the ground and weed and stuff… but since I’m hugely pregnant again, getting that low to the ground is again out of the question. \u00a0Unless, of course, I don’t intend to get back up. Or walk for the rest of the day. \u00a0Have I mentioned that pregnancy loosey-goosey joints, also known as Relaxin, is wreaking havoc on my hips these days?)
