Gorgeous phlox buds. They want to defy winter too, it appears, and I'm with them. It's always sad when a cold front is looming, you know it's coming and can't do anything to stop it. Makes those last few hours even more precious before everything is gone. Hope you faired better than expected?? You'll have to bring the bumbles back (thru pictures) this winter just to keep us going. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
