well, I can't believe it...

we were in the 70s today...
begonia hanging on, even after a frost or two...
still not a bad enough frost to put the blooms to sleep...
picked up some of the summer things out of the beds today...
smelled some roses...
saw 2 bees...
can you believe this?
the nuts are all down and the squirrels have been busy...
spent some time on that bench soaking up some rays...
in a short sleeved t-shirt...
just lovely out today...
and there's a monarch butterfly...
saw a small yellow one, too...
still have leaves, but they are falling fast...
the thermometer is stuck on 100...
it was warm out, but not that warm...
Bebe playing dead...
he doesn't do it very well...
well, November sure came in warm...
wonder how she will go out...

it sure feels more like April here...
snooping around to see what's still green every day...
but, green or not...
the pots are getting dumped this weekend...
right into the flower beds...

crops are 99% in...
plowing almost done...
they have had good weather this fall...
and so far around here, it's been a safe harvest...
DH just came through the door...
see you later!

seriously...

I am not ready for this to be November...
I am not ready for winter to come...
I am not ready to trade in my shorts for long johns...
I am just not ready...
and as November begins...
it's dragging me in kicking and screaming...
and protesting...
and I have my panties in a wad...
and I know it doesn't make a bit of difference...
'cause it's going to happen anyway...
but I am not embracing it...
nope...
I think it's time to hibernate until spring...
when I was younger...
I looked everything straight in the eye and said...
bring it on...
but...
now I'm just too old...
and I have become a wimp...
seriously...
I need chocolate...
seriously...

thank you for listening...
I feel better now...
