Melissa, thanks for the encouragement! I did get the maple leaves raked up before the rain came. My hydrangeas look awful! Of course so do the dahlias but I know that's normal for them. I'm anxious to see if some of my pretties overwinter this year. One whole workbench in the workshop is filled with potted plants... where the heck did they all come from? LOL I didn't accomplish anything yesterday, I had to drive to Olympia for Dr's. appt only to have it canceled after I got there. Grrr! Blew the whole day for me. Here's a couple of shots of the beginning of my nativity base. It'll taper from 14" to 18" and will sit on a 6' bookshelf in my living room. I'm discovering there's an awful lot of prep work to do before I can start the fun stuff. OBTW, never use spray paint directly on polystyrene. I almost killed my critters and me when a piece I was testing with began boiling and smoking. Wow! Bad stuff.
