Yes, the Trick or Treaters came last night (Thursday) so they would not be on the highways on a weekend.<br /><br />Flavor Designs: Glad you dropped by. I always enjoy hearing from new visitors.<br /><br />GardenofThreads: We have had a couple of close calls this year. I hope the cold weather means no more storms. LOL!<br /><br />MalayGirl: Thank you so much. Have a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />Karen: A BUSHEL!! You have to fill up those beautiful new beds I am sure.<br /><br />Darla: I think that geranium may just have to come indoors the more I think about it. LOL!<br /><br />FlowerLady: I am glad the tornadoes spared us but I feel so sorry for those whom it they hit. Luckily no one was hurt and that is a lot to be thankful for.<br /><br />Eileen:I hate it when my plans go array. Maybe I should go with smaller bulbs as some have suggested. Glad the storms did not get you either.<br /><br />Carol: Thanks for the suggestion now you have my mind plotting again. LOL!<br /><br />Balisha: Glad to hear you weathered the storms in your area too. I hate getting older girl! My mind says yes and my body says no all the time. LOL!<br /><br />Janet: Hey, let me know if you want some Nicotiana seeds! <br /><br />Stephanie: I am fine after all of the work but my old back screams at me after the twisting and raking.I get it done though.Old and creaky you know LOL!<br /><br />Edith: The picture is not in sepia but the actual shot. With the brown oak leaves behind the shot it does look like sepia doesn't it? I love to play with colors behind the flowers for background colors.Sometimes it just surprises me too. LOL!<br /><br />Liz: I hated pulling all the plants out too but it was just a matter of time before they got frozen. I will have to start planning for some more for next Spring now. Season to season is what we gardeners live for. LOL!<br /><br />Meredehuit: Mother nature can be very mean sometimes. LOL!<br /><br />Becca: I really thought it would work with the drill but not so. Oh well maybe I will go with a sea of smaller bulbs.LOL!<br /><br />Mona: I guess winter just gives us time to plan bigger and better projects but I am ready for Spring to be here already. I will be a blathering idiot by then. LOL!Not a winter person at all.<br /><br />Patsy: I hear you. I am so not ready for winter to get hear and I hate cold weather. Lets move to an island somewhere girl. Will the Benny be for it?

Your flowers are so beautiful despite being blown around for two straight days. I have the same problem with having things I 'should' bring in for the winter but probably won't get to it. And thanks for the reminder about the bulbs, I have a whole bushel of them to plant yet and forgot all about them. <br /><br />Here's to brighter days ahead.
