Thanks for the memories!

This will be the last day that I will spend for a while at the garden. Winter's chill will soon be upon us and today will be just a memory.






Dreamland

My garden is at long last almost put to bed. It still needs to be tucked in with one more bag of leaves and then it can snooze away until spring.

Sun goes down and says goodnight
Pull your covers up real tight
By your bed we'll leave a light
To guide you off to dreamland
Your pillows soft your bed is warm
Your eyes are tired when day is done
One more kiss and you'll be gone
On your way to dreamland

Trying to like Fall


I'm not a fall person. Yes, it is pretty with all the leaves but it is a hard season for me. The days get shorter, and there is that inevitable nip in the air. The garden is almost put to bed and today I went out and scored two big bags of leaves. I found a great spot where all I had to do is bring my rake and a couple of bags and within minutes I probably have enough to cover my garden beds... well maybe I might need another...

I am trying to like Fall, but it is hard when you know winter is around the corner.




Okay I will admit it, Mother Nature is beautiful!
