Mums the Word!

     It was time to decorate outside the house today, so Mommy and Madison went to Lowe's to check out their garden section.  They found some mums, some pansies, and cabbage plants as well, as you can see in the photo above.  Pleased with their selection, the two drove home and immediately got to work outside.

     Madison had to be dressed correctly, of course.  First things first:  she put on the gardening gloves.  You simply can't do any gardening without colorful gloves.  Next, the Dragonboat Festival visor.  She's had that visor since the festival last week - Mommy and Daddy know this because they keep tripping over the thing on the floor!  She also had to have her pink trowel for digging.  She always looks so fashionable, even when getting ready to do some gardening.  Why, she's even wearing her purse! 

     Mommy dug the holes and Madison put the plants in.  The yard looks very nice now.  I think we're ready for autumn!  Next week, we'll head to Burt's to pick up some pumpkins - and Mommy's picked up some items for us to make the perfect scarecrow.  

     Stay tuned - these two will have the house looking very festive soon!
