The Signs of Fall

Pumpkins on the studio porch

A basket full of fall flowers

Wood at the end of the drive way

Ready to be split

Re-wrapping the green house

Bulbs to be planted....

so there will be a pretty Spring

The signs of Fall are defiantly here at Brambly Pines.  We thought we might have until the end of October to have to deal with the colder weather but mother nature surprised us and we had to hustle and start winterizing things around here.  We went and got a truck load of wood.  Chuck spent one afternoon, stacking it at the end of our drive way.  Another day, Chuck took the plastic off of the green house and then re-wrapped it all.  That meant, bringing all the plants from the yard...and deck to be housed for the winter, down to the green house.   Everything is tucked in where they will be warm for the next five months.  Some of the plants that were on the two porches, are now in the house.  Some like to be warmer than what the green house will be all winter.  In the next week, I have to spend a day deciding where I want to plant the bags of bulbs that I bought and get them in the ground.  I really don't like the chore of planting them but as I plant, I keep telling myself how pretty they will be come Spring.  I will be so glad that I took the time to plant every one of them.  Yes....winter will be here before we know.  ...but we will be ready to sit back and " wish for snow".
