I love it when my summer phlox are showing off
their pretty white blooms.
I purchased at the Peacock Park sale earlier
this summer.
The blooms are gorgeous, but they don't last long...
and if it rains when they are at their peak they won't
be pretty for long.
They also have an intoxicating smell.
wonderful.
I initially planted two plants years ago on the
south side of my garage and in the years since
then I have moved some here and there.
In front of my fence...in back of my fence,
and in front of my house too!
years ago at Kmart and I still love it.
Enjoying another White Wednesday with
Kathleen over at Faded Charm.
I got stung twice behind my knee a few days ago
when I was moving my pretty white bicycle. It
appears a nest was in the making underneath
the wheel well. I yelled quite loudly! :)
Then today while helping hubs on the roof again
I was cutting soffit and pinched my finger quite
well. I think it will turn purple, but I hope the
nail does not fall off. Yep yelled again! lol.
Just another day in the life...
Hubby turned 55 this past Sunday and you know
what he has been looking forward to for a few
years now? Finally being able to eat off the
senior menu at Bob Evans!!! Cracks me up.
It may be just me, but I try to aspire to higher
things. lol
We will also celebrate our 34th wedding anniversary
this Friday. I can't believe it has been that long.
Where , oh where have the years gone?
Has it always been easy? absolutely not.
Is he perfect? no...but he is perfect for me.
{and in case you all were wondering...I am not
perfect either. lol}
Would I do it again? absolutely!

What??? Not perfect? Oh I think you're pretty darn close Sandi!!!
I love your phlox. Mine are a few weeks from blooming yet, so I am happy to see yours at their peak.
I hope your accidents are fewer this week and the bees leave you alone!

So pretty and calming. Love your bistro set. I was so admiring it and how I wish Kmart still carried it. Would love to have a set for my porch.
