It's time to set up the winter porch but it seems I can't bring myself to do it. I love Christmas and Christmas decorations but it's still so pretty and fallish out here. Usually my mums have totally bit the dust by now but you know what I did this year? I didn't transplant them; I just stuck their plastic pots into ceramic pots, and maybe only watered them once or twice this fall — if the leaves got droopy. That's my new plan for mums: leave them alone. Like, completely.
But the calendar says tomorrow is December and I promised the kids I'd decorate last weekend so I guess I need to get with the program. I'm thinking all white flowers here this time. White pansies, maybe. And light green foliage, too. And then I'll take the fall pillows off the bench and do something different there — something not with pillows. I'm not sure.
Okay, I'm starting to get a little more motivated now...
