Today’s Run: \u00a050 min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n

I began collecting my freckles for the Summer season today…I cut the grass and got some sun. \u00a0I am blooming into a nice shade of red right now. \u00a0Tomorrow, it will probably be gone but right now I AM RED.<\/p>\n

While I was cutting the grass, I noticed something wonderful! \u00a0We have flowers in bloom! \u00a0Some of them are old faithfuls but one especially is a new and unexpected surprise.<\/p>\n

Late last Fall we planed four Chocolate Vines. \u00a0We put them at the four posts on the south side of our new arbor\/pergola. \u00a0It was our intention for them to vine up those posts and create a nice, cool, viney roof for the arbor. \u00a0They had really taken off this Spring and last night, I noticed that they are in bloom. \u00a0We really did not expect them to do much this soon, but who are we to complain.<\/p>\n

I know it is a little fuzzy but the flowers are small and are close to the ground. \u00a0This gives you a general idea of what the flowers on the vine look like.<\/p>\n

Then today, while mowing, I felt incredibly guilty. \u00a0I kept mowing over these cute little purple flowers. \u00a0I thought about how much the bees would enjoy them…not enough to stop mowing but enough to stop and take a pic of one.<\/p>\n

The camera on my cell phone was not meant to do close ups, I guess.<\/p>\n

As I was mowing around the Oak trees we planted 2 1\/2 years ago, I noticed that the Creeping Phlox we planted last Summer and were positive had died in the heat??? is in bloom! \u00a0And is it ever pretty!!!<\/p>\n

The only other flowers I noticed today were the few remaining blossoms on the wild plum trees. \u00a0They were looking a bit\u00a0bedraggled but were trying their hardest!<\/p>\n
