I've done my good deed today. I have an enclosed porch for the washer, dryer and freezer. I bring my more tender plants in to overwinter as it drops no lower than 50 and usually stays warmer. I walked out this morning to tend to the washer and found a wren on the porch. It was flying at the windows and hopping from plant to plant. I guess it came in thru the pet door. I hated to prop the outside door open and let the cold air in but that was the only way I could herd her back outside. I just couldn't catch this little birdie. Outside, tons of little birds are covering up the feeder and the ground.

I opened the plant shelter this a.m. to check the temp and the plants and found the first and probably the last blooms for the season on my white NOID Brug. It smelled wonderful. Citrusy, soapy clean! lol
