the Compost Pile

11/11/2014

Well, it's been more than a week since Hallowe'en, and the Jack-o-lanterns have seen better days. They're shrivelling up and going moldy, and it's high time to get rid of them, and toss them on the compost pile.  Ringo wasn't too happy about it........but he brought them all outside....

I told him that the pumpkins won't last, but he can carve a new one next year.

That made him feel a tiny bit better, as he tossed them all on the compost pile....

I'm in the process of updating the Favourite Photos page. I've added quite a few new albums, none of which currently open yet - but they will as each one is completed.  There's a final Hallowe'en album, and another instalment of 'Iplekids Everyday', where all the miscellaneous photos of my Iplehouse dolls go.  I've decided to divide the fall trip photos into four albums; Denver & the Mountains, Pike's Peak & Arches, Santa Fe & Albuquerque, and Southern New Mexico. The first one is done, and I can start working on the next two. The Southern New Mexico album will be completed later, as there's still a couple of new adventures to be shared here first.

With the new BID dresses finished, I'll be starting work on this year's Christmas dresses for my Kaye Wiggs girls. I have five gorgeous embroidered, and sequinned, taffetas, which I need to colour-coordinate with matching velvets or velours. Then I can start cutting.

But today is looking to be sunny and warm (relatively speaking), so I need to take advantage and wash all my garden pots and put them away for the winter.

Aww! Poor sad Ringo. He's a hard little worker though. I know how he feels. I just cut down my beautiful geraniums and stored the planters away for the winter.

I agree! Ringo is a hard worker and he listened to you too! Bless him!
