Showy summer phlox

I love it when my summer phlox are showing off

their pretty white blooms.

I added a few stems to my frenchy bucket that

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!

I bought my Martha Stewart bistro set several

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!

Just some pretty photos

Happy Friday everyone! I have good intentions of

getting outside in a few minutes and working in my

flower beds while the weather is cool.

In the meantime I thought I would share a few

photos that I have taken in the past couple days.

I picked this leaf cast up at the antique store where

I have my booth. Isn't it neat?

My white phlox peeking through the fence.

Beautiful hollyhock putting on it's best show.

My wire greenhouse cover...love it.

Love my phlox in this wire basket.

Pretty geranium in my bicycle basket.

I wanted to show you how tall my phlox get.

I did have four of these vintage chairs and they

were painted the prettiest green color.

I purchased them at an estate sale several years ago

for 50 cents each. I left this one and another one sit

outside and they lost almost all of their green paint.

I do have one left that is just as it was originally and

I am keeping it that way.

Have a wonderful weekend filled with blessings.
