It's not ours but we are taking care of it for Georgeann. It's lovely and we are snug as little bugs in a rug here. Actually, more like bugs in a bigger, roomier rug. But now that it's gotten colder in the mornings, it feels cosy. We are all enjoying the house. I took a few pictures in the back yard in September.
Get a load of this tree house! Boy heaven.
I'm not looking forward to raking up those leaves. There's no grass back here. Lots of shrubbery and it is pretty shaded except for midday. I think we are going to put in a flagstone patio before it all turns into a muddy dog pit. Georgeann is amenable to us doing things. She said we could paint if we wanted. After unpacking, I don't want to do anything. It's been nice just to BE here this month without feeling the urgency of organizing things or trying to find something critical in a box somewhere.
Here's the back of the house.
Lola likes it here. The rats like the open sides of the big compost bin, and after touching maggots on the side of the swinging compost bin, I'm not sure I can handle that.
Georgeann has all sorts of cool rocks and things in the back yard. She had a lot of potted plants in the back and some happily thriving tomato plants in the front. I think it's time to yank them. I'm sick of tomatoes. The acorn squash is getting powdery mildew and we already ate the one big daddy it grew.
What is this spriraled plant? Do I need to bring it in for the winter? There is also what I think is an amyrillis bulb. Do I need to bring that one in too?
I can't wait to see what kind of bulbs come up. Patches of muscari have already sprouted. Tomorrow I think I'll do a round of fall cleanup and weed pulling here, and hopefully have some time to putter in the sewing room. It'll be another beautiful sunny day! Today was perfect.
