the person who owned this house before us must have planted the phlox i find each summer along the side of our porch. i have no gardening ability, but i love flowers in my home, so i buy them from our local market every other week or so. i have found such gratification picking phlox out of my own yard and bringing it indoors to enjoy. for just a moment i understand what it must be like to be a farmer, how proud they must feel to produce something for themsleves and others. i would love to have a vegetable garden someday.

i am having dinner guests tomorrow night, the food part stresses me out a bit, but i can't wait to set the table! i will take pictures.
