I spent all afternoon straightening the deck. I cut down the tomatoes and peppers and dead-headed my mums. My flowers are still hanging in there, so I will leave them until they die off. My dil brings all her plants in for the winter.....and my son absolutely hates it.......so I won't be bringing my herbs in for the winter. I will just plant more in spring. This weekend the hanging baskets will come down and get cleaned out. Yesterday I hung my ghosts on the dead tree in front. I'm ready for the colder weather. Still in the upper 60s here, though.
The only other prep I am going to go through is rearranging my closet and stocking up on hot cocoa and tea.
I bring in plants, but kill most of them over the winter! ;-(
My mums are just now beginning to bloom, but of course we aren't getting a hard freeze yet, so I'll still have a few days to enjoy them before things really disappear.
Lol, you'd think truckie and I lived in the same place: the way you prepare for winter around here is to finally be able to turn off the A/C.
Been great weather don't you think Rosie? Got to 88 while I was cleaning my pool. Was tempted to dive in.
What stopped you? Man, if I had a pool, I'd be in it every single day.
The does get nippy because of 50's nights. Like George on Seinfeld, I fear "shrinkage".
winter blows
