Renewal

This is the patch of phlox that the dear deer decimated early this spring.  It has made a splendid comeback.   The deer "pruning" made them bloom a bit later that the other phlox which is actually a good thing as all the rest have pretty much gone by.  It's nice to have this spot of fresh flowers now.  Still a couple of weeks until autumn officially arrives but it sure feels like it this morning, just 45F!
