Where is Winter?

It's November and we've only worn jackets once! Where's winter??

Well winter sure isn't on my front porch! As you can see in the picture the flowers I planted in June are still growing! I think I'm the only one in our neighborhood who doesn't have mums out for Fall. I just stuck our fall decor out with our summer flowers! I really don't have the time to dig up perfectly healthy flowers, so I'm just waiting till they freeze. I know that won't be fun to deal with, but maybe I'll just make Jake take on that job! :)
For anyone out there that thinks they don't have a green thumb I suggest getting Impatiens. These flowers are great! They have survived days of no watering and beatings by Spencer. He thinks he's doing such a great job at watering, but when he's done (or should I say when I pry the watering can from his hands so we can go inside) half of the flowers are on the ground. And yet, they come back and back and back. Who knows maybe they will survive winter...if it ever comes.
