First Freeze of Autumn

Last night was the first freeze for this season.  We had moved all my potted plants close to the house, under the eaves for protection and they made it fine.  I was pleased to see that our huge "elephant ears" were spared, too, as they are close to the front of the house - again, under the eaves.
    Last year, I brought several plants in and "wintered" them in the garage window, or as much light as we could get from it.  It did get cold out there but they rested well there.  I had small plants, and big ones... like my ferns.
    This spring Larry took down our old storage shed which was in the corner of our backyard, and put a larger, new one in - guess where?  On the side of the house under the garage window.  It covers part of that window now.  So,
there is limited light coming through that window now. 
    Well, my quandry this fall is where to put all these plants I want to bring in. H-m-m-m!  For one, we are going to pot one of the mid-sized elephant ears into a very large pot, place it on a pot-pallet (which is on wheels) and set it in the guest bedroom.  We'll see what it does.  I am going to try keeping the ferns in front of the garage window, and my English Ivy there too, hanging from the ceiling.  Now, what about the others? 
     I have always loved having houseplants in our home.  Love the growth and change in them.  Just enjoy them.  I use to purchase "hurting" ones and get them back to healthy with TLC! 
     I enjoy the beautiful colors in the trees and shrubs in the fall.  I gladly bring my plants into the house, but the decks look bare now.  Soon they will be covered with other seasonal things like snow....

Starting Something New!

I have been thinking for awhile now about starting a blog.  So here we are.
I may not write daily or even often but will write when there is something to
share or if it is newsworthy.  May it be of interest to you, the reader, and
bring glory to God.

By God's enablement, we are planning on being at church in the morning.
Praying that God will strengthen Larry's back to be able to sit in the pew
through the service.  We have not been able to go the past 4 Sundays and
have missed it so much.  The hearing of the Word being taught, the
music and fellowship.  So we are planning in faith for tomorrow morning.
