Don't throw out those dead mums.......



                           Oh again I can't tell you how much I love this time of year!

                                               Let's talk Mums.....


                              Back in September I purchased 2 large yellow mums.....


                                                





                                               Oh they were so bright and cheerful
                                                       at my front door.....

                                                 Then the frost and rain and......

                                                     came and turned these beauties into
                                                              an ugly brown mess......

                                                          




                                   The first thing I wanted to do was to throw them out....

                                                       but wait ...Out came the shears and I
                                 
                                                                 gave them a good haircut.....








                                             To me they look a little like a topiary...

                                                         or would you say more like a
                                                                       
                                                                    boxwood......







                                          So don't be hasty.....give those mums a good haircut..

                                                  and just maybe they may flower again.....






                                             Look...... see..... who landed on this pumpkin....



                                                      That's a sure sign that November is not far away

                                                                     Halloween is fast approaching!!
