Falling into winter

Although most of the people I know claim summer as their favorite season, I am especially fond of Autumn, the only season with a nickname.

As the temperature continues to modulate to a cooler normal, I begin my ritual of preparing my front porch for winter. Guess now is when I let those who haven't been on my porch that I showcase my favorite flowers and plants there every year. Watering, feeding, nipping, turning, replacing are all part of the ritual I do to thank God for giving this old lady a home of her own.

Oh, and the porch decorating gets even more intense at Christmas, Just you wait...
