BEAUTIFUL FALL DAYS

My plant that was supposed to attract Hummingbirds. I only saw one Hummingbird all Summer. The plant, however, is doing great. It is one that should be able to winter over. If it gets too cold, you are supposed to cover it with plastic wrap. We will see what happens. The beautiful plants that I put in the planters that Richard made me finally died. I put in these Asters. I have never grown Asters before. They are Perennials and are supposed to withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees. So if all that is true they should bloom again next year.

A closer up picture of the Asters. Purple was the only color they had at Home Depot. Wal-Mart had some plants but they already looked half dead.

Donna and I spent all day yesterday in the beautiful sunshine shopping for items to put in our jar for the Quilting retreat. It was in the low sixties both yesterday and the day before. Just gorgeous weather. Tuesday after Donna was through with her classes, we went walking with George, Marge and Misty at John Wayne Marina. I will put a picture of Misty on my next blog.
I went to the eye doctor for my check-up on Monday. I am doing real good. I have one more appointment on November 1st. The doctor thinks my eyes will be settled in by then and that I can finally get some glasses.
