We've been putting off mulching our flower beds and getting some fall flowers because it's been SO DANG HOT here until this past week. I saunter into the nursery yesterday to buy what we need - basically mulch and mums - only to find that they have no mulch. Well shoot. And then the employee who's helping me tells me that the mums will only last a few weeks since the weather is so temperate here. My game plan was totally derailed and I have all this money budgeted for updating the beds. What's a girl to do? Buy a ton of flowers that should survive awhile is what. I bought some pansies, violas, snapdragons, sweet alyssum and silver leaf. Our front bed tends toward the green and it needed some color. I do not have a green thumb, despite my mom's fantastic skills with plants. I fully expect everything to be dead when I walk outside later.

Happy (If You Live In Texas) Start of Fall, Y'all!
