 Peace 

Preparing

 I have been taking the time to bring in plants that I want to overwinter.  I have given them a good spray of insecticide .....actually castille  soap which works very well against small bugs and such.  The shades of pink are various petunias with a few impatience for good measure.  The whites are mandevilla.  I used to winter them very successfully.  And yes that is a morning-glory happily blooming.  It has many buds, which I hope, toes crossed, will continue to bloom.  

There are still a few to bring in, some scabiosa(beautiful flow with a gross name) in blue, a few more petunias, and amaryllis.  The amaryllis may or may not bloom.  I rescued them a couple of years ago.  They are putting out green, but so far only leaves.  I keep them well sprayed with a lemon-pepper solution which the cats hate. I spray most of my plants with this as I am not thrilled with chewed plants.  Waking up with a cat dragging a frond of asparagus fern across your face is not fun.  I am considering small pots of catnip and cat grass to keep them happy.

P.S.  It was supposed to be 'Winter is coming'.  Not sure how 'winter' turned to 'wonder', but it might be an interesting thought for the coming season...........*s*
