Got a Surprise Today

A nice inviting walk there Rosie. I have no walk here and no decorations up this year. So lovely of your daughter to give you those flowers.

Very cute! We would normally deck out the front yard with our Halloween stuff - but this year since we won't be here, I didn't want to "trick" any trick or treaters into bothering knocking at our door. So the new look here is no look for Halloween. (But we do have 2 medium sized pumpkins out there!)

Lovely! Looks like fall mums you have there? Or something similar? I LOVE when someone brings me plants. I certainly enjoy cut flowers, too, but it's just nice to have something you can keep, especially perennials :) I haven't put any flowers out for autumn and have actually just pulled up the summer annuals. Maybe I will pass by and pick up a couple of pots at the local home store. They always have a mass of colors to choose from - and they kind of lull me into forgetting the cold weather around the corner LOL

Looks good when I open the image to view it bigger. I am doing something and these people around have been telling me that is the insanest thing that I have ever done in recent years... pssst, they still dont know what I am capable of. I will post a discussion when it is all done (probably by Monday - but depends on the sunshine).

I've never thought of decorating my walkway but it might be a good idea to research.

I have lilac trees inside in a pot, I need to get another pot and split them up soon, terrified I will kill them, but they got too big and need separated asap

I have no idea what is out in front of the house. Hopefully nothing too scary. Your plants look very nice.

It was very thoughtful. It looks nice.

Such a nice thing for her to do! We have a small front porch that had three chairs when we moved here. We left them because we had no patio furniture. But, over time, they got ugly, cruddy, filthy, uncleanable, so when I cleaned out the storage unit of Mom's stuff, I had forgot she had a nice wooden bench she'd had on the back porch. We put the chairs out for the trash and replaced them with the bench. My daughter sanded it down and re-glued it; it looks so much nicer than it did before. And, it looks nicer than those three butt ugly chairs did that the previous tenant left behind.

That was a thoughtful thing for your daughter to do. My driveway was invisible under a carpet of leaves this morning. I swept them away but it will probably be just as bad tomorrow.

Love the flowers. We live in an apartment so won't be decorating outside.

You are very lucky. You have got nice daughter. I wish you to have their great love towards you for the whole life. any way those are very beautiful anyway
