Halloween

Why have a doorbell when you have a westie.

Julep is waiting for the kids to come our way.

 The landscaper wanted to get the plants into the ground prior

to our rain event.  With the bad weather we had last night

we were surprised that our new tree didn't get blown over.

 Our house is simple and we like it like that.

 Got to take down the Halloween decorations before we leave.

I've already started pulling Xmas stuff from the attic.

 I'm still in love with our mini-stone wall.  It's just enough 

without overshadowing the front yard.

 I want a stone bench placed in this bed because it

will add a little interest to a boring flower bed and

it's a good place to place to put things as I unpack the car.

 The pink Camilla loves this spot.  I also planted two small

Xmas Camilla's in this bed.  One will need to be moved

when the stone bench goes in.

 Spring dutch iris popping up through the

earth.  These are a favorite flower.

 We may do some fill-in planting in the spring

but for now this is just fine.

 We kept going back and forth on what type of tree

to plant.  It came down to a dogwood.

 I'm surprised we didn't have more kids in the neighborhood

ring our doorbell.  Since St Michaels is just 5 minutes away

our feeling is the kids can walk shorter distances between

homes and rake in a ton more candy.

Treat-or-treat is over for another year.

We haven't told the westies they are going on

vacation.  Today is packing the car with stuff

and getting the house in order.
