~~~Goodbye My flowers!!!~~~

Happy Saturday everyone! Today has been a BUSY but productive day here at our house. This morning I got up with BIG PLANS! That always makes Mr. S. GROAN, LOL! But I started on my own by scrubbing (on my hands and knees) the kitchen and breakfast room floors, the foyer, and the living room. Then I dusted everything. I then put the winter comforter set on our bed, which I will share in another post. Then WE went outside to clean up. All the pots were emptied and stored away, the impatiens were pulled out of all the window boxes etc. These were the impatiens out front last week!

 Then the SNOW came and they died a sad death:)

 The mums looked pretty good too, not any more....

 So, now we have a kinda bare front. It is sad cause the mums and even imaptiens sometimes last til Thanksgiving, if we're lucky.

 My pumpkin patch fence is looking kinda sad:( and lonely! I may put a few pumpkins in there til Thanksgiving, especially since we are having a dinner party for my SIL's birthday next week.

 Joe blew the driveway for me too.

 The umbrella came in and the top is ready for the washing machine. I love the ones that come off and you can WASH!

 All the pots are in the garage. It sure looks bare BUT, I have some plans for next week cause we are suposed to ger 2 days near 70! LUNCH may be on the deck next week, stay tuned:) You wouldn't have believed how many leaves were on this deck before we blew!

 My favorite bench is stored on the breakfast room deck now because it is covered and protected.

 I hate emptying the window boxes but they sure looked awful with dead impatiens.
