The view might be colorful at arm's length, but it is the small subtleties which really are interesting. I have missed your more frequent posts. <em>Thanks, Layanee - but, oh the guilt...

Thanks, Layanee – but, oh the guilt… I’m not sure where the time has gone lately but I’ll work on finding it again starting next week (I just hope I didn’t leave it at home!) -kris

If you've seen a monarch or two, then maybe I'll get to see one more before winter arrives. We're having a beautiful fall here, except that we need rain desperately. Maybe we'll get it one of these days. Those .2" we got a couple of days ago did nothing but wet the top of the dusty ground. :-( <em>Kylee, I hope you see butterflies and just the right amount of rain a.s.a.p! -kris</em> Kris, you have given me hope.

I'll mulch with shredded leaves, plant bulbs and perennials and this November and December I will add more shrubs and evergreens. We haven't had a frost and many of us will drape the plants with sheets if a mild one is forecast~A killing frost might not happen until December. Sometimes putting the garden to bed~does sound good, except for the long winter ya'll have! gail <em>Gail, After reading your bloom day post I think it's a trade off between our climate and yours...

Gail, After reading your bloom day post I think it’s a trade off between our climate and yours… I’m ready for a long winter at the start of it – we might get our first frost this weekend. Come March, different story. -kris
