I did not fill my outdoor
containers with herbs and veggies this year... as I originally intended because of the crazy
weather. Therefore, things around here are kind of BLAH. Especially since the only thing I did plant
were a couple pots of salmon colored geraniums that got attacked by an army of
GIANT ants. They didn't survive the spray I had to use to get rid of the army
invading my front porch. So I no longer have anything colorful decorating that area. And to be frank, I gave up trying
to surround myself with nature's beauty outdoors. Inside though is a different
story. I recently decided I was in the mood for a
treat. A bouquet of fresh cut flowers in a pretty vase always brings a smile to
my face. My hubby always gives me roses. But MUMS are a favorite of mine too. Probably because they remind me of my
favorite time of year, autumn. I may be
rushing that season, but I bought some anyway. Did you know chrysanthemums are
used in Asia to make tea? In Korea China
