Nice ones!!!

When I think of fall containers, I think of mums and other hardy annuals and perennials. If I planted a new tender succulent it would have to stay inside. Nights here have already hit the 30s once or twice and tomorrow and Friday we are under a freeze alert.

Wish the hardy succulents had the interesting shapes some of the tenders have.

I need to get out and check my tender ones before they get nipped. Since I do not do well on house plants, I guess I just have to say goodbye to them, until I can buy more next spring.

I envy your mild winters, but not enough to want to live where it rains a lot. My Dad once told me, when he was living in MS, that he did not mind the rain because he did not have to shovel it. . Hilarious! Hilarious!
