I am still not used to Howard being back to work after 5 months at home.
Friday has more meaning than it did! Suddenly we have weekends.
It's almost chilly here today; Fall is making itself known. It's time for changes.
The front door wreath?
Gonna have to yank out all the white and put in some autumn colors.

| Oh heck, I could have trimmed the dead fronds off the palm. That's my miracle plant; it actually died totally, and then sprang up anew in the middle, and is doing well. I've been afraid to touch it. So, don't look at the dead fronds, the chippy door paint, or the package the UPS guy just dropped on the porch, there on the right. OK? Thanks. |
The asparagus ferns will continue to thrive for weeks to come, bless their little green hearts.
So much in the garden is now ka-put -- the dry hot summer just scorched everything except weeds. And the asparagus ferns.
Our Autumn Joy sedum is turning pink, attracting zillions of bees, and one very pretty butterfly
who visits every afternoon. I wish it would invite its pals to come, too.
Howard will be home at about 10 tonight; I am still not used to his getting home so late.
At 7:00 I am checking for headlights in the driveway.
Lots of fiddly things to do this weekend -- go to our favorite wholesale grower and get some mums.
Pick up two tables from among those Craigslist tables I shared with you last Tuesday:
Same seller, so I'm taking both. I really can't wait to paint that first one.
We'll travel up to Westchester for another couple of tables that are an eBay auction win.
They are sweet -- think tiers and scallops -- but I don't have a good picture yet.
I also hope to venture into my sister's hometown for this chair -- $35:
Craigslist, of course.
By the way, Howard doesn't yet know any of these plans, but if it means I am not asking him to weed, he'll be OK.
I'm linking with three lovely bloggers, who are hosting parties today.
