Better Late Than Never

 

As tempted as I always am at the Farmer's Market, I don't usually do any outside fall decorating because the deer will just eat whatever I put out. If the deer don't eat it then the vultures tear it apart while trying to perch on the rims of my planters.  

The Mister had to go to Urgent Care on Monday when he developed a nasty case of cellulitis in a wound of unknown origin. The Urgent Care is in the same shopping area as Walmart and Pup and I wandered the garden section while he was being seen. 

What we found were big $3 containers of mums. I couldn't resist. I came home with a trunk load and proceeded to yank out all the summer annuals from their pots and replant them with the mums. It also gave me a place to put the pumpkins we brought home from the season's last Farmer's Market where they were giving them away for free on Halloween. 

Look at this beauty. They may all end up as deer food but for now I'm going to enjoy walking past them while they last.
