To me chrysanthemums say "Fall" along with cooler weather, pumpkins, corn stalks, roast turkey, pumpkin pie, and apple cider.
With the return of routine this month brings, I was ready to see something fall on a daily basis. Since my fresh herbs were past (and they looked pitifully ugly) I decided to change out the planter pots on our deck. Off to Home Depot I went Tuesday night to buy a few chrysanthemums. Wednesday morning while Jay took his morning nap I blissfully enjoyed potting the plants.
Here are pictures of the result!
I can't help but smile every day when I look out at my cheery planter boxes.
While I took these pictures I had my ever-constant companion by my side. I decided to play around with the different settings on the camera and took this photo of Jay. What a cheesy grin.
While writing this post this morning Jay was doing some independent play around the house. He got awfully quiet - and we all know quiet at this age isn't always a good sign. I investigated. I found him in a spot playing with something that was just fine, but upon further investigation I found that he had previously gone into our bathroom and had fun unrolling a good portion of the toilet paper roll. He clearly understands and KNOWS that is a no-no...that little bugger. I brought him in to the bathroom and again explained to him that doing that is a BIG NO-NO. What does he do? He gives me a look similar to that cheesy grin above. Oh, the joys of parenting!! Lord, help us train up this child in the way he should go...Prov. 22:6.
