The big autumn tidy has arrived here and I'm trying to get some work done each day before the frost arrives. Today's job is to clean out the greenhouse so that a few more plants can be brought in and I can start sowing seeds.<br />I like autumn because I'm preparing for spring!!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16057764572761794703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-68951777144922825752016-10-06T17:06:39.499-07:002016-10-06T17:06:39.499-07:00I wish you'd get some rain!

If I were a smarter gardener, I'd only grow things that are hardy here and this seasonal change would be minimal.

Yes, autumn is messy here in Wisconsin, too. I haven't started raking yet, but even the Oaks are beginning to drop their leaves. Your garden is stunning even in this season of senescing. I like the touches of blue throughout.

I'm such a baby when it starts getting cold and wet--something I always forget until it happen. Oooooh, that's why people take care of the big move sooner rather than later.

I feel like I exercised; going along on all of your adventures, getting plants in the greenhouse for winter, seeing all the work you've done. Your stained glass is phenomenal! I love the round room and the windows are perfection. <br /><br />This time of year is filled with indecision and melancholia for me; I can never decide when to pull the plug on the garden. Even when I know if I wait too long I'll be cursing myself as I work in thirty degree weather digging bulbs with frozen fingers. On my way back from the pond this morning I was dismayed by all the work still facing me; and the weeds...good grief. I'm happy to see you've got your garden ready for winter, this is the encouragement I needed. :-)Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-27983971433556279222016-10-06T07:00:21.356-07:002016-10-06T07:00:21.356-07:00Love that second photo with the window and lattice...Love that second photo with the window and lattice.
