Fall Is really here

Today I finished getting the yard and gardens ready for winter...It looks so desolate out there with all the decorations and lawn ornaments put away till spring. All the shrubs are covered, my rose bush is encased in a rose cone....
I am not sure if we have had "indian summer" yet. But if not I got everything done, before I am trying to do it in the snow!
SNOW......as much as I like the pretty white fluffy stuff I hope not to see it for at least 6 weeks yet.
Half of the trees still have leaves on them yet, some have not even turned to their spectacular fall colors as yet!
I really do not want to give up my afternoon reading in the sun, but since the temps are now in the 50'I will stay inside and read.
