This morning started off awesome. Waking up early and convincing my husband to do the same is always fun. We finished reading Matthew from the Bible and then I took off for a run. I love my pink running shoes. They are so light and airy and I even have pants and a jacket that coordinate.

I cleaned up my summer gardening projects from the front window ledge. They all started out so well. First they sprouted and grow tall and green. I think I bought some sort of giant marigold variety so they didn't work out very well in my cute little jars. They got to be about 6-7" tall and then died: and I might have over-watered one.

I also re-potted and dead-headed some mums. Hopefully they last through the winter months and will bloom again next fall. I was going to impress you here with some useful information about mums, but I have nothing

My other plants include a chive (which is not going to like winter because it is a sunlight hog) and a juniper tree.

I hope to bonsai the juniper at some point, but decided to let it get established in the pot before I started cutting and bending. Hope that goes well for me.
