Life is good at 'Mosquito Flats Winnipeg'. And getting better, day by day. I spent some time Thursday afternoon, putting the flower gardens to bed for the coming winter. Some pots tipped on their sides to spend the winter outdoors; some readied to be stored, plants and all, in the heated garage for the winter. And, yes, I did some more pruning and weeding. This mild fall weather we've been enjoying has given us extra time to spend outdoors, doing the things we want to do. More than enough time for even a procrastinator like myself to get the necessary things done.
I will miss the perennial flowers in our yard over the coming winter months. But, at least, fresh flowers are only a short drive away, at a conservatory, a garden centre or a flower show.
And, if that fails to satisfy the thirst for greenery, there's always the possibility of travelling 'south' to a warm, tropical country during the long, Manitoba winter.
