probably 98% of my patients are absolutely precious people. A lot of them are elderly and widowed / widowered and lonely. So they look forward to their infusions bc they get the companionship / someone just to visit with for a few hours as well.

I was told when I started this job, that I would get attached to my patients.
I didn't really believe that on the front end, but I can tell ya now that it's true. I absolutely adore almost all of these ppl. I look forward to seeing them each month.

Ohh well that’s good. I guess, like with most things, we hear about the bad ones.

Hey bully!

About the planting, my 10 year old limelight hydrangeas died last year for some reason. Even after they survived the DFW snowmageddon a couple years ago. Was just wondering when I should plant the replacements.

Hiya grrrlllllll

Give it a few more weeks. The best time to plant a hydrangea is during mild weather— nothing too hot, too cold, or too stormy. Pick a clear day to plant and it will have enough time to get settled before it has to tough out the hotter days ahead.

They like a lot of water in the heat but don’t make a swamp out of its bed. They do best with morning sun and shady later in the day. East or southeast side of the house is most favorable.

You can dig up the old ones right now if that’s where the new ones will go.

Get them from a nearby nursery. You can also get stuff to change the acidity of your soil that will make them change colors.

Limelight is a good variety for your zip code.

We had them growing up but I don’t have any at the moment.

Thanks, bully. Hydrangeas are my favorite flowers and the limelight has a wonderful scent almost like honey. I was heartbroken when they died and can’t figure out why. They had really matured into large, heavily flowered plants. I plan to replace them with some a little more mature than normal and definitely want to give them time to settle in before the summer.
