Some Winter decorating outside......

It seems hard to believe that it's time to get the gardens ready for winter! I worked all afternoon outside getting things cleaned up, pots put away, tools stored and so on. My reward was creating some simple arragements on our back deck that can be enjoyed all season long.The big ole pinecones make it perfect!

In the summer, this picket fence planter held big beautiful white geraniums!

One of my favorite things on the deck is this old post lantern top. I got it at a thrift shop a few years ago and keep a candle in it all year round. A great look for 4.99! The old iron gate was an auction find while I still lived in Ohio...price? $1.00!

I'll count on my little rusty garden angel to watch over everything out there this winter. Come spring she'll be ready to hover over a nice big planter filled with bacopa! Til then, she looks happy to me!
