Fall Front Porch and Landscape Beginnings

With temperatures in the 80's and 90's till a week ago, it's taken me a bit to get my front porch decorated for Fall. I didn't go all out this season because I knew that we would be starting our landscape work here in October... and then last weekend we had a killing frost that took out my flowers out back. Thankfully I went ahead and covered the mums out here, not really thinking it would get that cold.

I think most of us have had that long awaited cool-down in our areas, but unfortunately ours came with a killing frost. I lost all of my outside plants in the back that weren't covered. Lantana and zinnias and some geraniums didn't make it. Fortunately I had the mums out front covered so they survived. Nothing like going from about 90 degrees to 30 in a day! Hopefully we will now stay in the 60's and low 70's for a while. I just hate it when it goes from Summer to Winter overnight!

Weekend Inspiration and Fall Favorites

I'm totally dating myself here, but when I was thinking about a title for this post other than "Weekend Inspiration" the phrase "Wayback Machine" just popped into my head. If you're under 55 there's a good chance this will fly right past you, but since this is a post I'm sharing of some of my favorite Fall posts and pics from the past, somehow it fit. (do you remember Mr. Peabody the Dog and his sidekick Sherman on Rocky and Bullwinkle and his WayBack Machine?)
