The excitement is growing here at the cottage!
There’s lots to do between now and tomorrow, but I’m confident we have it all under control. Meanwhile, Don is taking portraits at a Fall Fair in our neighborhood for a few hours this afternoon.
We had a frost last night, and while I don’t think it was a hard frost, the morning glories look like they may be done, as well as some other tender plants. I brought the Boston Fern inside. The other porch flowers look okay so far, though some of the impatiens might be gone. I’ve decided I’m going to place them all outside the porch on benches and chairs, as it looks like it might rain enough to keep them moist while I’m gone. If they make it, great. If they don’t, I’ll be okay, as they won’t have much more time after that. There’s definitely a change in the weather around here as we head toward the end of October and the beginning of November.
All the things you have to think about – especially at this time of year!
Both Don and I got hair cuts yesterday. I got a couple of inches taken off and I’m glad I did. Last year, I didn’t have time to do that before we left and I felt that my hair looked ragged. Don took this pic after I got home.
Okay. Lots to do today. I have to get moving.
Happy Saturday.

What a cute picture! Don has a way with a camera that catches such good expressions. I hope your trip is all things wonderful and your travels are safe. Whatever you are able to share would be appreciated as it was great to travel along with you both last time. If not that’s fine too, as I’m sure you will tell us when you return. Happy Trails! ☺
