PACKING UP

Yesterday was moving day at the Bore household. Based on weather predictions, we decided to go ahead and bring in our various cactus, and ferns, and no-names. The “spare room,” (which I’m sure was intended to be a dinette, but has not been used as such in the 28 years I’ve lived here,) is filled with plants, as is my desk. The cats have been told to “Keep Off,”-- yeah, like THAT’S going to happen. Last year Fluffy kept napping atop one of the cactus--poor child has nowhere comfortable to lounge. “Fluffy, you dingbat! Get off of there!”

It’s sad to see the outdoor growing season come to an end. I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to the annuals that are still hanging on outside, but soon we shall be digging them up and dumping them into the compost pile. “So long, ol’ chums. It was nice to have you around for a while.” :(
