This is the view that greets us outside our bedroom window.We have been busy in the last of the dry days, cleaning up and putting away outside.
The cedar tree droppings have been cleaned up and deposited on the garden path. The deck is swept. It was a lovely place to sit for awhile. Tom has the garden boxes winterized. The hoops are installed for the covers for the overwintering bonsai and plants. I have all of the lawn edges trimmed and beds cleaned up.Lastly Tom got the covers on the hoop houses as the ran began this morning.
The bonsais are off the bench.The tender plants are off the patio, moved into the greenhouse along with the geraniums, geranium cuttings, and other starts. In the front yard the Fatsia and hardy fuchsias are providing food for the two humming birds that over winter here. The front walk is cleaned up and ready for the last leaf fall. There will be more clean up, of course, but for now we continue to enjoy lingering autumnal color. Late this morning we attended an open house at our now favorite local nursery. So many independent nurseries have closed, so we want to support this one. I didn't take any other photos. I was too busy holding myself up and dodging other shoppers. That is getting harder these days.
We enjoyed the outing, ate cookies, looked at everything, and bought a couple of plants and several ornaments. We had fun.
It's good to have fun.
Having the yard prepared for fall is a good feeling. You have to run to get all the things done in your yard.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful garden/yard, Linda... a place of peace and relaxation when needed. Glad you had a fun day.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful indeed, and it must feel good to have it all done for now. I'm looking to have some fun, too. Somehow.
ReplyDeleteThe work that is required to maintain your gardens and yard is amazing, and I so appreciate your sharing it with us through the photos.
ReplyDeleteYour yard looks great even in the late Fall weather! Looks like Tom has been busy with Geranium cuttings!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour preparations for each season is amazing. All I do is water, and throw away dead plants.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you're all ready for whatever comes next.
ReplyDeleteYour gardens are beautiful! I've got to pay attention to my tiny spot soon. Linda in Kansas
