Getting ready for Winter in Millsburg

The overnight temps are dipping into freezing territory. This morning the pre-dawn reading was twenty eight degrees. The potted plants on the deck are about to be frosted.

Apparently Hennyhead has taken precautions. The deck is now too cold. He has taken up residence in the corner of the laundry room.

Most of the leaves have succumbed to gravity and are now on the lawn. This makes them easier to mow.

The black walnuts are another story. I have sent hundreds off the lawn with my old nine iron. There are still quite a few to dispatch now that most have jumped from their perches.







As I look out the window the morning glories continue to bloom. Perhaps they don't realize that there is frost on the rooftop and the lawn below. Their days are numbered. If not today, colder nights are coming this week.

The begonia plant is going to be toast.

There are just a few projects to consider before the winter chill, ice, snow and all other frosty bits settle onto Millsburg for the next few months.

Some may get done. The rest will need to wait for spring.

There is ice on the bird bath!
