I count this as a SCORE!:

Mom wanted 2 large pots of mums & as we went to a late lunch, we passed a place that had large pots. We stopped on the way back & the owner wanted $20/pot. We couldn’t agree on a color plus I thought $20 was a bit pricey.

On the main highway near us, I had noticed someone had taken over a large parking lot & had rows & rows of mums so we stopped there on the way to the ice cream stand for dessert. The pots were 12” (same size as the other place) and $12/pot! We found a color we liked & now have 2 huge mums. They also had large pumpkins for $8, medium for $5, large gourds for $3, and other assorted small to medium pumpkins for $3 - $5. He had blue pumpkins & I asked what they were : Blue Doll. For some reason, I just love blue pumpkins.

“For some reason, I just love blue pumpkins.”

Me, too! When this heat breaks again, I’m heading to my favorite Pumpkin Patch. I know I’ll bring home something BLUE! And I can decorate the porch this Fall because:

A. The remodeling has not started yet, and I’m not sure it will this Fall, and,

B: No puppies running loose, LOL!

Right now all I have are two orange Mums from Walmart that need a trim because they’re putting out new shoots and buds for more blooms. :)
