I'm Baack!

Well, it seems like forever, but I'm finally back online!  No computer is No Fun .  I've missed blogging, and most of all I've missed reading your blogs!  It's so nice to be able to read about what my friends are doing on their homesteads- I missed you guys!!! 

 

It's been unusually nice the past few days, so we've been spending lots of time wandering about and "nature walking".  And of course, bringing home all the treasures we find along the way- acorns, feathers, a dried pomegranate or two, flowers, and  rocks, rocks, rocks!   

 

I've been repotting some of my plants and getting them ready to be brought in on nights when it gets chilly.  That'll be a while here in my part of Texas, probably.  I've also had to battle it out with some ants who "thought" they'd found the perfect fall/winter home for themselves- in my potted herbs!!!  After a couple of baths with soapy orange oil scented water, they decided to find a more suitable living arrangement !

 

I'm ready for some cool weather flowers for my porch and sidewalk.  How about you?  I absolutely LOVE Viola's, also called Johnny Jump Ups.  I'll have to plant several pots of them, and a few Snapdragons and Pansies.   I may try my hand at forcing some bulbs for holiday decorations, too.  What are your favorite cool weather flowers or plants???  Oohhh, a few weeks ago I got two new "pets"- A Snowflake Rose and an Attar of Roses Scented Geranium.  They smell SO good!  Can't wait to bake a Rose Geranium Pound Cake- Mmmm!!!
