It's October, and flowers that bloomed happily in pots
all spring and summer must now go.... either inside, or to flower heaven.
Sadly, the impatience which had a glorious six months of life
are annuals. They are still hanging on, but their days are
numbered, inside space is limited, so their fate is to stay outside and face
the music.
Everything else goes inside... The lucky
geraniums, cacti, and other perennials, get to be coddled and
nurtured over the long winter, then moved back outside for another wonderful
six months.
This cycle continues, year after year, and just like their
owners, the perennials tolerate the short days and cold nights of winter,
protected by hot air from baseboard and electric heaters, and on
some fine days, the sun.
