It's October Already.........................

A quick wander around the garden today showed that critters had been busy. Where I planted the ivy there was dirt all over the path. Not sure if Squirrels were looking to see if I buried anything they may want or the Poodles had been busy. I did smell the slight odour of skunk this morning? Looking for grubs maybe.?
A beautiful month for sure, we had to turn the heat on in the house. Fingers and toes were beginning to freeze. My nose was running. Today was a little warmer so I did go out and sweep the paths and I planted the Sweet William that was in a pot, I also brought in the pretty red flower, such a shame to see it die. I am not sure how well it will do inside but will try to save it. I now have to decide what to do with all the rest. 5 Boston ferns, too pretty to die but too big really oh what shall I do.


I don't like to see things die. I wish in some ways we had a milder climate so things would live outside but we don't. I have a few houseplants that have to come inside.
The problem in the house is the lack of light.
So who comes inside and who does not.
Meanwhile, the bees are still quite active,although not on too many things. They seem to like this plant and I have that in a few colours



Seed pods are pretty, this is my Garlic Chive


There is not a lot going on, the Holly has a lot of berries this year. I should pick some so that the Robins have them in the Spring. They were so hungry last year. I will get some meal worms this time.

The berries on the Mountain Ash are all gone. Already eaten
I bought a new bird feeder to put on the window in the hope of having at least one that the Squirrels can't get to. Also hoping for some pictures.

The two fish left in the pond have enough cover and are fat and sassy. So good luck to them.

I will bring this in tomorrow. It's pretty right now and we are not supposed to get frost just yet although it is getting close.

Bud's flowering tree next door is pretty right now.

Not sure what it is, looks like a cross between Hydrangea and Lilac.

I would like something that blooms this time of year but no space for much else.
So these guys sit all forlornly waiting to see what I will do next. Who comes in and who does not

I have to get some potting soil and then see what I need to do............wish I could store them in the garage but that won't work. So tomorrow I must decide..........
