Laying a nest to rest...

We are so close to Winter now, it sends a chill through my bones...

My lil' pink shack, the porches cleared of artifacts,'cept the
nail keg that holds the sand for the frost covered ramp,
oh yes, and let's not forget the ice and the snow,
it makes traction so much easier.
Boy, that just sent a shiver up my spine!

Gardens are laid to rest, fruitless and flowerless,
dead and dying...so sad to say goodbye!

Autumn on the sand prairie...
Iowa, my home sweet home!
