My annual flowers are gone

Yesterday was a sad day. Necessary- but sad. I tore down all my flowers for the year.

I took the day off on Friday to do this very thing (as well as other fall cleaning chores) but I couldn't bring myself to tear out all my carefully crafted and cared for pots when it was 80 degrees. So Jeff and I went shopping instead.

But, like every fall, a rainstorm comes through, the temperature drops, and the warmth does not reappear until May. After the showers on Saturday night, working yesterday in 60 degrees and overcast weather was the perfect entry into fall. So...now all of my pots are down and stored away until next year.

I can't wait for the tulips and crocuses to spring through the frost in April.
