Woke up this morning to light SNOW cover on everything. Our newspaper announced it as "the end of the growing season". I also had the "joy" of paying the first seasonal oil bill-nearly $500 and that's for 6 weeks of oil I think, now--(later the bills will come every month)--if we keep the house cool not warm. Welcome Winter. Where did I leave my sweater? the heating pad?
I carried the two large pots of geraniums into the house just before sitting down here. They are in the vestibule. Seeing how many bugs and worms might be co-habitating before coming into the house proper. The big asparagus fern is still outside and will need a good haircut before entering.
Not much to do today. The garden needs a good cleanup--- my sister in law picked the last of the raspberries, I guess. The ones ripening will be mush about now. The fig trees are already inside. And now that my rosemary plant has gotten a frost--it can come inside without fear of drying up. Nature's way of letting the plant know it needs to stop growing. Lots of branches on the rosemary so I can, perhaps, prune it into a topiary globe and a bare stem and used the cuttings for cooking and for starting new rosemary plants--perhaps for gifts.
There is never enough room inside for all the things we have outside.
My worktable in the sewing room is filled with cloth. I will need to start cutting and sewing. A new baby quilt top for Connie's group and I have a charm pack to turn into holiday potholders again this year. Or perhaps into placemats? I loved making the other charm pack into holiday potholders--adding from my fabric piles to stretch the material into ten potholders. And NOW I have remembered how to do the binding!!!! I did have to watch a few You tube videos.
