A Touch of Frost.

Beans on toast for crows breakfast this morning with a side of cat food.  A good many of the annuals got wiped out last night with the frost.   Time to clear out the pots and other containers to be stored for the winter.

I woke up a few mornings ago with terrible pain in my shoulders when ever I moved them.   After a couple of days I was getting a bit concerned as I couldn't figure what was going on.   Thought to myself, if it continues much longer I'll have to see about it.   Had visions of going for x-rays and all that crap.  I was talking to a friend a couple of days later telling her how I had put up shelves in the bedroom and what a job I had sawing them to the proper lengths with my old bow saw.   She said, I don't suppose that's why your shoulders are in such pain!   Ha, I hadn't even thought of that and that's exactly what happened.   LOL.

A touch of frost in early morning.





Some of the Phlox are still hanging in there.





And the Sedum is coming into it's own.




The Burning Bush is putting on a show.



I'm waiting for the temperature to go up a bit and then I'm off to put a window in my old storm door and repair the bottom of it.  A beautiful day even though it's chilly.

Ha, that sawing would certainly do it! We haven't had a hard freeze here yet, it's been unseasonable warm. But the seasons don't follow the patterns they have for hundreds of years here anymore; it's very disconcerting.

The colors of the phlox, sedum and burning bush are beautiful.

Blessings,

Victoria

Autumn showed up here rather abruptly this weekend too, so we're getting ready for the colder weather. I hear you about aches and pains. When you think about what you used to be able to do without feeling it for days afterwards ... lol!
