Before the frost hits the pumpkins. . . . . .

. . . . . I decided another day outside in the garden was definitely required.

Yesterday, very warm, lovely sunshine. . . . . short sleeves and a sun hat required.

Bob mowed the lawn, last time for this year most likely.

I topped up the pots containing the newly planted tulip bulbs with a little more soil and 

a layer of mini bark nuggets - hopefully this will keep the digging squirrels at bay.

I played with relocated the still good pumpkins which are too nice to throw out. 

I may even try roasting some of these as all pumpkins are supposedly edible!

Angel trumpets still unfurling so haven't cut them to the ground but will have to very soon.

A few Knockout roses still blooming.

Japanese cut leaf maple turning color. . . . . . 

. . . . . all the trees are so beautiful now.  We enjoyed our afternoon cuppa 

in the gazebo watching the leaves drift down on the breeze, and 

listening to bird songs.

A definite change is in the air. 
The blast of very cold air from the north will hit the southeast by Friday 

with below freezing temperatures at night, but yesterday……..ahhhh, it was 
close to perfection for me and my garden.
