Thanks everyone for all the wonderful comments about my pics I am so glad that you all enjoyed them. tropicgirl-I am really loving the cooler temps and yes fall is here. karyn-Yea pretty soon it will be time to bring everyone in for their winter nap. kylie- I am going to check and see what I have extra that I can offer on the trade thread. Theresa & neonposey - The mailbox project was DW idea she saw it at another home, but they had used a plastic pot so I went a step futher and bought a clay pot that had a hairline crack in it for only $40.00 it was regular $280.00.What a deal! Lucy-Ideas for fall planting in TX, my choices are sweet potatoe vines and kale with many colors to choice from. Rigo

Thanks for the pics! I saw a scape and trying to open blossom cluster on a Hosta out there this morning as well. Strange fall. Happy Trails, HH

I wanted to post today, but my deck is completely stripped of paint because its being repainted. I dont think the deck is going to end up getting painted until at least Monday because all the rain we got here delayed the whole project a week. I think what I will do is post pics of the plants in my front yard, and then save the backyard for when the deck is painted (probably Tuesday or maybe very very early Wednesday morning (like 5:30 am!). I'll post my Front yard today and the rest as soon as they are back in their spots! -Alex
