Tete's Beyond the Garden Gate

as the sun came up this morning...Bebe had to pee...

so...while I was standing there waiting...I decided to turn on the Halloween lights and see if I could be a photo of them...

so...tada...here they are...

I started on these last night and got them done awhile ago...

they go on T stakes...then you nab an old flannel shirt and put it on...and gloves...and you have a scarecrow...

and I did a cute witchy girl, too...Nova cut them out for me...I told her she needed to do them...it's been 10 years since anyone around here has done any...and they are all worn out...she could sell 50 of them, I'ld bet...

Lock away and keep safe the memories of sunny days...for all too soon the rain will come...

Did you ever change your mind...?

one of my cute new signs from Nova...

the swing took up too much room...so we went for this...plenty of seating...and a good place for a mum and a pumpkin or two...later...much later...maybe...

It's been a productive day...until the naptime...

it was still a little cloudy this morning...

and a little dark...

up close and personal with Boris...

the seed pods are molding...the humidity has been high all week...

started out in the living room and worked our way to the kitchen...all the extra dishes are now in the top of the fireplace...hidden away from view but easily accessible...

found some more creepy friends...

Steve's coleus...

this mum is burgundy...

we started picking up the little gardens things and got them toted back up and put away until next spring...

if we work on it a little every weekend it won't be so bad...

persimmon tree...

Craig and Tia...

moved the table down in the yard...

put the swing up here...

and got the fountain plugged in here...and a couple of chairs...won't be long until we have to put it up, too...we are 4 weeks out of harvest and should be starting about now...the crops will be late and frost will come early...
