It's supposed to be the last really nice day today with a high temp of 81 before plunging to 70 tomorrow and being downright cold the rest of the week. First hard freeze is also expected. Sigh.

So...it's time to cover the a/c unit and put most of the garden to bed for the winter:( Gotta mow the lawn and blow some leaves, too. Reckon I'll actually do the above or will I just sit around on my dead center and think about it?

Mostly, I'd like to just do the "dead center" thing and admire the flowers for the last time until spring.
 
Up super early this morning .. may go back to bed to read for an hour.

Today, we're going out of town to visit my nephew & his wife. Our daughter, son-in-law, and corgi Abbi
are also invited. We've decided to go in one (our) car. That should be fun!

We're taking a charcuterie board, Japanese beer & mochi desserts. They might do a b-b-q .. or not. It
should be a good day, despite the weather (it could rain a bit).

11.30am..here Pinks... just saw that it's 6.30am in Toronto... go back to bed sweet pie...it's Sunday..:coffee:
 
Yesterday I spent the entire day on the couch recuperating from the omicron booster. Woke up this morning and other than some soreness at the injection site I feel like a million bucks. Good thing because I have a long list of things to do today. Mostly cooking. A little cleaning if I get to it.
 
DD took me to the store to replenish the ice cream and chocolate stock. I'm in good shape for about a week 🍫🍨

Came home and cut back a few things in the garden. I just can't bear the thought of losing flowers to frost this week:cry:

When the dew finally dries up this afternoon, the lawn will get mowed. It's still too wet right now.
 
Lawn mowed. A/C not covered. Some seemingly dead rose bushes cut back...when I discovered that they aren't dead after all. Maybe they'll actually come back in the spring? Cut back the curcuma but just the ones with spent blossoms. Watered everything, especially the mums because they get very thirsty and will last much longer if watered daily. Hoping the hard frost doesn't happen yet so that there will be a little more time to appreciate the flower garden.

Went to my siblings condo and brought them here for lunch as the condo was being cleaned (again). Took them back a few hours later. With help from my daughter and the cleaners she hired it was disappointing news but I am not surprised; bed bugs everywhere - the entire one bedroom condo needs all the carpet ripped up and most if not all the furniture replaced. Sigh...we are looking into getting both brothers (one has dementia and the other is diabetic and they both smoke) into assisted living. Don't know what we will do with the sister. All are seniors.
 
Oh dear, @IrisSenior. What a dilemma. All I can do is think positive thoughts for you.

Are there no pest control services that specialize in bed bug eradication?

Such a pretty fall day here, and I'm just desolate over the possibility of losing my flowers :cry: Maybe it won't happen. Maybe there will be enough wind that it'll keep the frost away. Sigh.

I'm going out to take pix right now so that I'll have them to refer to in the spring. I have so many ideas about what to plant where and what to keep in the same spots.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm going to have to bite the bullet and plant the allium bulbs that I just had to have weeks ago. Actually, I'm glad that I got them when I did because there wouldn't be any left now...like those $5 iris bulbs that I figured I'd buy a few at a time, but when I went back the next week, they were gone, dammit.
