Mums the Word

Each fall we put some Mums into the planters around the house. Last year we did yellow, and those Mums are now growing very nicely in the back yard! They started to bloom a week back and look great! They are the newest (and last photos) in my Flowers 2013 Album on Facebook.

Well this weekend was Mum weekend. This year Cruz and I got them planted for mama, he knows she likes flowers... Heather picked out purple ones this year (I swear it wasn't me). Cruz is old enough now to be much more helpful than he was last year, and after we did the first one... he explained to his mama how it's done... cause of course, toddlers are experts on any task once they have done it once...

We had fun, hopefully they bloom well for a few weeks, and then we can transplant them to the backyard for future years.
