Garden

We had high winds over the weekend.  A lot of leaves down.  The wildlife have been busy eating the Honeycrisp apples.  Our resident porcupine has been back so we moved the apples into the woods for him to eat.  Visions of quills sticking out of my dog.  Yikes.

Hoping for some dry weather now so we can begin the cleanup. No quilting until the outside work is done. 

Happy Fall everyone.  LM

The beavers have been busy at the lake too.

The Lab will keep the mermaid company for the winter.

So sad to see so much shriveled up, dry and on the ground, yet it still has its own special beauty.  We had high winds yesterday too.  Even my dogs didn't want to go outside.  Heaven forbid Lily should have an up close and personal meeting with a porcupine.

I’ve enjoyed the photos of your gardens this year. Thanks for sharing.

The fall leaves are stunning especially the red.

And keep far away from that porcupine especially in high winds 😱

@Sweet_Serenity Exactly. 

Spiritual. What’s the story about this lovely lady? I don’t remember seeing her.

@OKPrincess 

Exactly! Thought the same thing, who is she?

@OKPrincess@Sweet_Serenity, the lady has been in my garden for years.  I bought her at a local nursery.  I remember the day perfectly.  DH was away.  I took the SUV to the nursery (about an hour from my home).  I thought she was so lovely.  Two women staff and loaded her into the SUV where she stayed until DH got home.  I love her soft lines.  She sits in the front yard sheltered by birch trees.  LM

It's been on & off too much rain here, some winds now & then. We've been battling wet weekends so the houseplants that come inside have been waiting on us. We've put this off for maybe 4 weekends now. Yesterday it was finally warmish, sunny, nice so we cleaned up the plants, dug pots out the ground and brought the remaining very big ones in. So glad we did too, they're calling for mornings in the 20s-30s this coming weekend and next week, predicting to be our first steady cold spell of the season.

Good call Robbie for us to bring in the plants. Glad we did this yesterday, he finished taking down the last of the veggies, did leaf removal in the back. We're as ready as can be now for the winter cold and that 'S' word - you know the one snow.
