I had planted white tulips with red markings , but the second summertime they come up pink .

My mom always implant queen , but I had not . Last summertime I picked up these pretty bluepansieson a whim , and they were rattling all summer .

This lily was just so beautiful .

There was a horrendous storm here on October 12–14 . The power was out for our entire town and for 1000 of people in southern Manitoba . We were without power for 27 hours , but some people were out for a week . The trees carry a real smasher , as the leaves were still on and the wet snow build up on the offshoot . I was out bump coke off offset a duet of times . This Amur maple(Acerginnala , Zones 2–8 ) was a major concern , but it amount through well . There were mightiness - line worker here from Ontario , Saskatchewan , Minnesota , and North Dakota , which was much apprise .

I trieddrying hydrangea and zinnia . The colors really changed , but I think they are still lovely .
