mum's the word

Happy first day of fall!

Mums are the fall showstoppers. When you think of autumn flowers, there is likely one bloom that comes to mind: chrysanthemums. Come fall, the plants line porch steps, suspend from hanging baskets, and dot flower beds, bringing unbeatable color and charm to the landscape. 

The other day, a truck delivered 1,000 mums to the farm and people are quantity buying them along with their pumpkins. What a stunning and eye-catching display!



 


And, it's THAT day in September. Start it with a little Earth, Wind and Fire.

  2. I was surprised by how much more color there is in the trees in Ohio and Michigan than there is in DC. Fall is upon us.

  3. Northern Ohio is a little bit ahead of southern Ohio in the leaf color.
