I love connecting with nature at this time of year (I insisted on getting married in either spring or fall, as I love both). I hope you get to connect more, and that the mother phlox plant survives! I'll have to look up that type--I've never heard of moss phlox but it sounds like a ground cover I'd love!

I need a good nature icon, but in the absence of that I'm using an icon with Totoro in it because he's a forest spirit (kami).
