The garden is beginning to shut down

by

It feels like it’s gotten so cold outside! I think that’s only partly true though. I’m sick again with fever and sore stomach so I’m just freezing, even inside my own home!

Looking outside at the garden that I don’t dare walk in when I’m feeling this cold indoors I can see that the leaves from the big maple tree have begun to fall over the lawn and garden, and some of my plants have started to die down.

Those that are shutting down for the winter include the balloon flowers and the Phlox. As I mentioned in earlier posts many of my flowers are still going strong, although I suspect they won’t be for much longer!

We still haven’t had any frost … or at least I don’t think we have, certainly we haven’t had any hard frosts, but I expect within the next week we’ll have our first. That might be the only thing that shuts down my roses! I swear they want to keep blooming and blooming. Silly plants!

Some of my visitors have mentioned in comments that their gardens have been hit by frost already. How is everyone else’s garden fairing this first week of November?

Now that the weather is cooling many of us are likely staying inside more often. Perhaps you’re looking around the home and thinking about what you can do over the winter months to improve the look of your home? Perhaps a new television or some appliances are needed?

Well if you are planning on making any purchases over the next while you might want to visit Wize.com where you can read up on all kinds of pr0duct rev1ews.

Wize.com has pr0duct rev1ews for just about anything that you might be thinking of purchasing – from a GPS and navigation systems to the latest digital cameras, washers, dryers, televisions, computers, laptops, health and beauty, products for kids, the latest games such as playstation and Xbox and more products that I can mention in this post!

Just start at the main page and find the type of product you’re interested in learning more about and then drill down through the menus until you find exactly what you’re looking for – don’t worry it’s easy to find just about anything and you can always use the search section at the top of the page too. Once you find the pr0duct rev1ews that you’re interested in you can read reviews and check out the Wize rating number.

The Wize rating beside each product is a measure of how popular an item is and how satisfied consumers are with the product in general. The higher the rating the higher the general consumer satisfaction in the product really is – so that means it’s a product to keep your eye on and possibly purchase.

I’m not planning any major purchases in the near future – well other than possibly a new washer and dryer, but I’m going to bookmark this site and I’ll be sure to visit it the next time I’m thinking of buying something for my home. I always like to do a little research on major products before I buy them and Wize makes it easy to do just that.

Take a look at my photoblog

by

I spent some time yesterday evening updating my photoblog.

The blog now has a new theme – really just an updated version of the theme I had been using, but it looks so much better! The link colors are orange instead of gray and the set up is a little bit different too.

If you visit Breath of Life you must take a look at the archives page. I love the way it loads with thumbnails of all of my photos. The other theme did that too but it took some time to load. This one seems to load very quickly and it’s wider so it’s much more appealing.

I usually save my best photos for my photoblog so if you like the photos that I use on this blog and on some of my other blogs you should really like the photos on the photoblog. The majority of the photos are plant and flower related – I know you’ll like them.
