First killing frost means geraniums take up a second life indoors for the winter.
Long Islanders 
Many years, when we didn’t travel south in the winter, I brought my geraniums in and enjoyed them all winter. I have five windows on a four season porch and had five window sill planters I filled with them. I’d move them at night when I had to lower the shades, but otherwise they filled the windows with green leaves and periodically a few beautiful blooms. I loved bringing them in. They also brought back fond memories of my mother-in-law who always brought hers in and put them on a shelf that was attached across her garage door just below the windows on the door. Enjoy those beauties. 🙂

Such a bright, beautiful burst of color for the austere days of late fall and winter.

I never thought of bringing them indoors. I would love the scent.

Marian reminded me that in her mother’s house, geraniums were always considered an indoor plant!
