I have a hard time staying inside too when the weather is nice! I would just much rather be outside, but for right now because of my surgery, I am having to take it easy.

I hope you are right about Wilder. I still haven't seen him. No, I haven't found a little stove yet. Poppy say an old cast iron stove would rust and ruin, left out in the weather. I'm wondering if I could make a round small fire pit with bricks and put a grate on top. I've got to come up with something. Have not heard a word from the lady with the baby squirrels. I need to call her. Thank you.

I have to take mine down as the snow is just too heavy here and it would be crushed after a few snow storms. I love how your plants look so cozy in there. I spent a good part of today cleaning up the veggie garden and realized it's not near as fun as planting. :) Oh, I hope Wilder shows up tonight.

We could use a few days of steady rain. Hard on the fall garden. Your shady spaces look calm and inviting, and yes, your greenhouse does look like a cozy spot for both plant and human as it gets cooler! That's important work. Have a good day!

I don't know about eastern NC, but here in WNC, we are having a second litter of little bunny cottontails showing up, they are pretty small, so I am sure that it is a second round that I am seeing, so maybe little Wilder is out joining a bunny family. I sure hope so.

BUT rain (rather light showers) today starting at about 6:15 or so and still coming down, future radar shows the rain (shower) continuing until right around 3:30! Yea!!! Don't know how much that will add up to but surely is more than we've gotten for a good long time.<br /><br />Your greenhouse looks so pretty, orderly, clean and beautiful with all your plants inside. Have you made any progress on the little stove to put in the little outside entry area for cups of tea while communing with your flowers?<br /><br />Wilder is probably happily getting acquainted with his wild friends out there in the woods. It gives him less time to visit with his sweet foster Mama who took care of him when he needed it the most.<br /><br />Have you heard anything from the lady who took in the baby squirrels a few weeks ago?vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18428581552807859803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541568171657986.post-89293505079110320952017-10-05T04:00:50.589-07:002017-10-05T04:00:50.589-07:00I love your greenhouse.
