Ready for winter

I potted up the last of my coleus today and then, pleased with myself, went around taking pictures of windows and grow lights.

There are no coleus in this photo -- this is window box fodder for next year. But if you click forward in my photostream you'll see lots of indoor/outdoor garden stuff.

Click backwards and you'll see photos of Union Station in Washington DC, with the shoppes still all full of campaign-related merchandise. John McCain, poor thing, is 50% off, while life-sized cardboard Obamas, wearing t-shirts etc., stand at the door, beckoning shoppers.

Nice day for something. A nip in the air but puffy clouds in the sky. I guess I'll hop on my bike and go buy eggs and laundry detergent.
