Mums

We bought our first fall mums today!  One was tiny, and the other only had a few blooms, but they were the colors I love - deep red and yellow.  There was a tinge of coolness in the air today, and oh my goodness, it was so welcome.  Fall doesn't officially start till September 22nd, but I can't wait.  Buying our first mums of the year always mentally kicks off the season for me, even if physically it's still too warm to feel like fall.  Jeff already got the mums planted (I pick them out, he does the work of planting them!), and it makes me so happy just to look at them.  They're like my own personal invitation saying, "Come on Fall!  We're ready and waiting for you!"  I found God today in those pretty little fall flowers.
