we do not get freezes that last more than a couple of days
when we do though my sweet helper Sam
and I haul out the garden quilts. It sounds crazy
but just covering up potted plants on the coldest evenings
can save them from damage
we group the pots together
and throw this quilt on the tender blooms
for the evening
there are a couple that are too heavy to move
so they get this warm beauty
these quilts are old and worn
adopted over the years
this blue toned one is an indoor only,
to wrap up in after the garden is protected
I am going to steer away from my yard for a couple of days
and will try to decorate my home for Christmas..it is time right?
have a wonderful weekend!

Sam is a gorgeous boy I loved that feeling when Chester would rest his head on my knee and look up at me.
The quilts are a lovely idea! Our garden is covered with a quilt of snow right now.

Sam has such sweet eyes. I'm sure he is a great helper in the garden!
sweet Sam to help you like that. I'm glad you got your plants protected.
I'm decorating for Christmas this weekend too. Happy decorating : )
Looked at your header and laughed. Gray rocks! I've been gray for years (genes from me mither). I dyed it for a while but what a bother! ... and I hated the thought of those chemicals on my head ... too close to my brain for comfort. LOL
I'll have to read more of your blog later but hubby is just putting brunch out ... and I'm hungry.
Teehee! The last photo speaks volumes, my dear... I shall try to listen to that sage advice.
ps: i LOOOVE your new blog header photo!!
Oh, I love your garden quilts! What a great idea.
AND you know I have a thing for cherries and I LOVE your header!
I love the new banner....and your garden of quilts !!!
Sam is adorable. Love your new header.
Chilling out - a nice weekend to do it. What a welcomed break.
Just need a cozy quilt:)
Love the Chill Out sign! All moms need one of those! LOL
think that i will be decorating tonight as well...
The first two photos are just adorable; each one on its own way!
Beautiful Sam!
How I wish I could trade my snow and ice for your partial freezes and flowers in bits and pieces year round. This, too, will pass! Meanwhile, I'll live vicariously through the cyber gardens!
