I love Autumn but I'm not certain that I'm ready for Winter. Not for another three months or so. The perfect Winter to me is snow on Christmas Eve at melts away by New Year's . . . maybe that's my old age speaking. I do remember being thrilled beyond words as a child when the first snow started falling from the sky :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-25558498809710377312018-09-17T17:54:20.382-07:002018-09-17T17:54:20.382-07:00Yes it does :)Yes it does :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9136180253380173794.post-33228806669320162392018-09-17T17:48:12.096-07:002018-09-17T17:48:12.096-07:00That old owl seems to like being perched there on ...That old owl seems to like being perched there on top of the scarecrow.

I love seeing what's going on in your beautiful gardens and listening to you "talk". Like I always say, I wish we could visit in person! I got a good laugh out of you saying that it's a good thing a neighbor didn't see you lying on the ground, or else they would've called 911. I always make sure there's no neighbors around when I lie down to take pics around my yard, too. They would probably wonder what the heck I'm doing. Bad thing about living somewhere with neighbors right on top of you. Well, enjoy what's left of your garden...makes me sad to know that we don't have much longer.

I just love your twig archway! It is darling! And I would far rather can than weed, ha! Fall is in full swing now, and its so true, just as the garden is fully bloomed out, here comes the frost. Ah, such are the delights of gardening in the northwest, lol! I, like you, tend to keep old things as well, as you just never know when inspiration will come!

I never get bored with your posts! So many hidey holes, little birdhouses, rust, peeling paint, twigs, etc. Love it all. I usually don't pull out all the dead stuff and weeds until the following spring. Probably a good idea to do it during Fall so not a big mess to look at! I had to laugh at your gardener's hands and stained shirt! I had commented so much and now hard to repeat it.... did want to say that I have always picked any green tomatoes left right before a frost, and ripen them in a brown paper sack in a dark area. My dad taught me that secret as he grew up on a farm in Illinois and that's what they did. They ripen just in time for Christmas! Great for green apples too. I think last year here in Madras, I was still picking slightly orange tomatoes off of my vines right before Thanksgiving. It was great. I use the south side of my house which is a 5 foot "alley" as my "garden alley". That's where I store all the garden stuff, old frames, tomato cages, wood, the wheelbarrow, etc. We don't have a garden shed yet and live on a small lot in town, so not much room for all that good stuff.... oh also.. I've seen where people make little greenhouses out of old windows. Check it out on Pinterest. There are some neat small ones.. really neat. Have a wonderful laid back weekend! Hugs..
