Challenge #105 Anything Goes & DT Call

Good Morning Crafters, it's officially fall.....and although I love the colors of fall, I wish it were summer again.
Unfortunately we weren't able to finish off gutting our back garden and having it ready for spring/summer next year and now the cold days are setting in, so we'll have to leave it till next year and start again in the spring. We're presently working on getting our strawberry trees set  up for next year, and providing they survive the winter, we should have a fabulous crop of Gigantic strawberries. Our apple trees should arrive in November...brrrr
**************
Now I'd like to apologize to the winners of our last few challenges, for not getting your prizes sorted out for you. I promise you I will start working on it today and you should hear from me today or tomorrow at the latest.
