New Year and a New Start

Well I am sorry to inform that my hydrangeas have died! I guess they did not have a chance with that summer heatwave since they were so young. Yes I have mourned their loss and that is why I have not been blogging. I guess when life gets hard denial and avoidance is the easy way out. So now I have to start fresh on that side of the garden. I don't know if I can give hydrangeas a second chance. I tried to nourish them, feed them, love them and they still died on me. I had all the best intentions and sometimes the God has another plan. So what next? Do I start new or should I try again? Maybe I need to check the soil as one friend suggested. I am thankful for friends who can always give me a new perspective and encourage us to keep going. I'm a bit disheartened but as with life, it's just getting back on the saddle that counts.
