Thank you every one for the very nice comments.I thought I had already posted some follow ups on this post, but, guess I didn't.About me forgetting the names of some and had to delete them, what I usually do is,I bring a little note pad out with me, and some times,I walk through and see whats blooming, and ones I want to take pictures of,and write the name of them in this note pad.Then when I have my list made up,I go back and take the pictures,and put a ck mark by the one I just took the picture of,, or other times, I will take the photos, then write its name down on my note pad.When I load it into the pc,its all in order just like I took them..but that day,I had took several pictures and when I went to write them down in the note pad, the daughter showed up,and i got distracted,and thought no big deal,I will remember them, but,later,I didn't remember what I took pictures of. Thank you for looking at them,and commenting on them, Jean

Dear Huggybear, you got an unbelievable deal! Yes for those kinds of tile, you need the Lepponits wheeled nippers. You can order them online from tile companies such as Mosaic Mercantile or Maryland Mosaics, or you can get them on eBay, or you can probably get them at local stained glass stores. The wheeled nippers are great; with them you can position your wheels in the center of the tile and make a clean straight cut almost every time. (With the ones that look like pliers, you have to position them at the edge of the tile and they will crush the glass tiles like you have - use them only for thick ceramic tile like the 4x4s that are used on bathroom walls, for instance.) Again, what a fabulous deal you got on those tiles! Make wonderful things! Post pics!

I will caution you to be careful with Daltile since I had a very recent, very bad experience. Our tile guy bought what we requested and many things were not in stock. Very long story short, most of it came in little by little over the next few months. After 2.5 or 3 months the master bath floor was still not in (they missed two different dates on this one) and it wasn't going to be in for two more months. Everything else was already installed and designed around this floor and I had to pick something else. Just make sure they actually have it and don't trust any future dates they give you because they are just guesses and you may never get it. Oh, the customer service can't be considered bad since it is completely non existent.

"Hydrangeas that bloom on old wood should be pruned by the end of June-ish." I would venture to say that in a large part of the country, these hydrangeas would barely have even come into bloom by the end of June!! I think it is very risky to make any recommendations about the timing of 'pruning' on old growth flowering macs, as in most cases, it is nearly impossible to accomplish at any time without adversely affecting next season's flowering to some degree. Here, macrophyllas may just start blooming by the end of June (July is more common) and will continue to produce flowers all summer long. Some are even still pushing a few random buds now in mid October!! Deadheading or removing old spent flowers can be done at any time, but there is NO time when one can safely prune these without affecting flower production the following season. That's why renovation pruning is the recommended approach with these shrubs if pruning is required or necessary for size control, as you are only removing a portion of the blooming stems each season, leaving the rest of the plant to flower as usual.
