Phlox

...I think. Found in a lovely shady corner of the demonstration gardens at our community center. Laura and I planned a walk along the W&OD trail, but because of the impressively fierce wind we decided against that tunnel of trees. Instead we sat on the porch swing of the old farmhouse that serves as the Parks and Rec headquarters and had a good catch-up. 

Much of the rest of the day was spent shepherding kids and writing. I. finally finished an essay assignment that had been causing her tremendous grief, and the world feels lighter for it. She's had a musical evening, trying to figure out the initial chord progression in Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and sharing some creations of her very favorite, Jacob Collier. 

Second shot/jab tomorrow, and we'll be happy campers in two weeks. Have a good weekend, people!
