Preparing for the Cold

We brought may potted plants onto our covered back porch to prevent them from freezing. 
All supplies and tools are safely stored in dry sheds so they can't get wet.
Holiday lights are in place and on timers.  
Fallen leaves have been raked off of the lawns.  
Rain is expected tomorrow.  Overnight lows are in the upper 30's.  
December gardening chores are being taken care of on a daily basis.    

Sears coupons are always available for garden tools.


"Bitter cold
autumn wind -
shivering lips."

-   Michael P. Garofalo, Cuttings



"This is what I have heard
at last the wind of December
lashing the old trees with rain
unseen rain racing along the tiles
under the moon
wind rising and falling
wind with many clouds
trees in the night wind."
-  W. S. Merwin  


"Every year at just this time,
In cold and dark December,
Families around the world
All gather to remember,
With presents and with parties,
With feasting and with fun,
Customs and traditions
for people old and young."
-   Helen H. Moore
