Phlox!

Phlox blooming in my front lawn. I grew this phlox in a container last year and transplanted it in August. It has grown vigorously.

Lovely Day

Today was as close to perfect as it gets. I went to the Orioles game. They won! It was about 85 degrees and not at all humid. The weather was not only perfect for baseball watching but walking the two-mile round trip to the ballpark.

My new fav beverage at Starbucks is the dulce de leche frap. Yummers!

After I got home, I took a few pictures of my blooming tulips and phlox. I hope to get to working in the yard this week.
