As I turned the new page of my calendar this week, I thought...no way...no way! can it be November! And I also wondered...could it possibly look like that outside by the end of this month?? Could it possibly be all crisp, lavender, and white outdoors?? Well, guess what...it's snowing outside as we speak...or as I type! And I love it. I'm totally ready for it... well not 'prepared' exactly...but emotionally...I'm so ready for it!
I'm nursing my pansies and geraniums along...wondering how long they can last in my window boxes. So far so good. I just poured warm water on the roots and covered them with the dried brown hosta leaves as a mulch blanket. I cover them with light sheets or pillowcases at night. Seems to be working fairly well. This is the longest I've managed to keep some flowers going into Fall...and they look so lovely with those small orangey-green gourds, squash, and pumpkins! Well, the festive time of year...my favorite...is fast approaching. Let's savor the season! : D
