Finishing up

Getting the last bulbs planted, putting away the hoses, cleaning out the flowerpots. Putting the gardens to bed for the winter is one of my least favorite outdoor chores; I hate that it's over while at the same time I'm done, ready to be done with it and no energy to have to keep doing. Just another weekend or two worth of work -- and they've already had snow in western Massachusetts.

A photo a day over at Chicken Blog, too.
