WHEN the frost is on the punkin and the fodder's in the shock,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' of the guineys, and the cluckin' of the hens,
And the rooster's hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it's then the time a feller is a-feelin' at his best,
And you hear the kyouck and gobble of the struttin' turkey-cock,
And the clackin' of the guineys, and the cluckin' of the hens,
And the rooster's hallylooyer as he tiptoes on the fence;
O, it's then the time a feller is a-feelin' at his best,
James Whitcomb Riley
The Sweetwater gardens are covered in frost every morning.....
We planted spring bulbs this weekend.....
Mr. S cleaned the leaves out of the gutters....
much to Marvin's amusement!!!
Mom will be off to Florida on Saturday....
Mr. S...to the woods for deer season!!
Mr. S and I were sitting by the fire on Saturday night when I noticed that there were still lots of mums blooming in the garden.....
Time to cut the last flowers of the season...
this is always a bittersweet moment for me because I love fresh flowers in the house!!!
Now...I will have to "gasp" buy them!!!
I decided to take some time and do a really nice job arranging these last flowers!!!!
The copper bowl from "Bonne Volonté" was perfect in size and color....I put a plastic bowl inside so the copper wouldn't get "yucky" from the water...
I went walking through the yard to gather all kinds of great looking fall foliage and the last of the mums....
I am likin' the way this looks....especially nice sitting on the new $2 runner I got at "Bonne Volonté"!
Wishing you warm sunny autumn days.....
