The end of the growing season at my house.

As you can see the fish are ready for me to feed them one last time before winter. I won't feed them during the cold months. they will go closer to the bottom and just sit there most of the cold.
Some more of the fish.
I need to get out and clean up around the pond before it's to cold outside for me.
I love my pond I just wished that I had more room to build more of them. I just really like watching them fish swim around and hear the water fall. It's just so peace full even thou I live right next to the road.
I got more water flowing in this pond cause it's smaller then my other one. I can't wait till it freezes and you see the water coming out of the falls frozen it's just really neat.
I had to trim my tree so that I didn't have a lot of leaves falling in my pond. plus it just made it look better. I need to pick better spots to build ponds. I just didn't think about the leaves falling in my pond until it was all done and I found a leaf in it. LOL
All of the green tomatoes that are left that I need to pick before the frost.
Renee sent me this gojo bush and I just wanted to show her that it is still living and I will probable trim it down and cover it up for the winter.
This the last of my bell pepper bushes. When I get done removing all of my plants I think my yard is going to look naked. AHHHH that scares me!!!
Luffa, fix'n to pick it. I hope that it will dry out and I can use it.
Just more of my tomatoes

whats left

These are some of the bell peppers that I picked just before we got the frost.
I never really had red tomatoes, they have always been green. Well I guess they will ripen up one at a time I hope all during the winter LOL
This is my Christmas cactus that Renee gave me while I visited her back in April right before I had my surgery. She said that her's has blooms or something on it, mine doesn't have anything. Why I don't know, maybe she just has a greener thumb then I do.
This is my Lemon tree that I grew from seed. I'm hoping to plant it outside next year. If not I will get it a bigger pot and just keep it in the house. I still haven't found a place in my yard to put it.

He was just loving it.
Christy is changing James.
Karen still playing with James

Skyler and Mini

Skyler is holding our new dog. Her names is Mini.
She is still really scared of people. Doug's sister got her while she was on her way moving back from FL.
I guess the old lady that had her died. Mini and another dog that Doug's sister Karen kept had no home, so she brought them home with her.
She is starting to get to know us, but for some reason she's really taken up with Skyler.
Aren't they cute together.

More yard pics






I can't believe this my luffa is really making a Luffa LOL. Plus I still have tomatoes growing. I haven't ever found a vine ripen tomato until just today. I picked it and put it on the ground so that I could look for more. Then just out of know where I backed up and steeped on it. Oh well atleast I can say I found one. I guess I should have taken a picture of it cause ya'll might be thinking I'm telling a tomato tale. (like a fish tale) LOL Oh ya I still have pickles growing just had to say that.
