For some reason, that old time song “It Had To Be You” had been playing in my head lately. You can listen to the song HERE, sung by delightful Dinah Shore.
As I prepared photos for this blog post, that song kept playing over and over in my head. I uploaded the final photos into the file system on my computer and then into the blog app. Then I needed to pick a title for this blog post. That song just kept repeating and repeating until finally it morphed into “It had to be Hosta”. You’ll just have to forgive me. 🙂
After that last camping trip, I was doing a bit of weeding and tidying in the back yard at home. The Hosta was looking healthy and happy so I snapped a few photos. Many folks love to see flowers in full bloom. But I find I’m more enamored of the buds just as they first peek out, long before they are in full bloom.
It seems a miracle to me that plants and animals all know how they are supposed to grow. Well, for the most part anyway. How does a Hosta know it’s supposed to look like a Hosta year after year? It’s a miracle.
By the way, that song “It Had To Be You” was written by Isham Jones (music) and Gus Kahn (lyrics) in 1924. It was the #1 hit of 1924!
