I am so glad I have most of my garden "put to bed". We still haven't had a serious frost and I can't make myself cut down the flowers that are still blooming away! The Black-eyed Susan's just keep on blooming. They are an amazing flower.
Yesterday I froze the last 8 pints of green beans. It was a green bean bonanza. Then I spent some time in the greenhouse picking the rest of the Red Robin tomatoes and all of the peppers. Many of the peppers are a beautiful dark red. I haven't tested them yet to find out if they are really hot. I am hoping for enough for a batch of red hot pepper jelly.
I tasted the first vat of white wine which I started 10 days ago and I think it is time for it to go into a carboy. That will be on today's list.
And more flowers: Soon there will be snow and no flowers.
Bet you're not ready for this!

No, I'm not! But, like you, I'm enjoying the change in the weather and hanging onto my flowers as long as I can.
The flower photos are **gorgeous**. And yes, there is no better sound than rain on a metal roof, especially when you are warm and snug inside.
Oh, yes! I remember that snow! I also remember the year you just about crawled through the phone and strangled a certain UPS guy over his opinion of driving out in that snow ;) (you're awesome)
I am actually kinda' hoping to get snowed in there again this year. I love being "stuck" in Hope with you guys!
