Puttin' my leafy babies to bed...

OK ~ so today I admit that winter is on it's way...

Today I pulled my geraniums from the ground.

Every year, for the past three, I've dug my geraniums from the ground and safely stored them in the crawl space of my home all winter.  (My Bishop's wife has done it for over 15 years- same geraniums- they look like small trees they are so huge) I've only had three fatalities, -if they are too small they may not have enough in them to hibernate all winter.  I took 20 out of the ground this year.

They are tucked safely in for the winter.  Some of them are getting so huge that I may have to place them into the crawl space individually next year instead of in my old bins.

A last look.  I'll show you what they look like in the spring.  I promise they wont look the same and you may think that I'm crazy for putting them back in my yard the way they look.  --You may just think I'm crazy... ;)

Proud as punch...

The other day Jesse came in carrying a bunch of grapes.  It has been weeks since I have payed any attention to the grapes in the yard. 

He had eaten numerous grapes off of the bunch before I saw him, and I was a little shocked when I saw the state of the bunch...

Did you say eeew?  Me too.  I hope they weren't fermented yet.  I don't think I could be hungry enough to eat those.  I didn't even want to test them to see if they were still good.
