You didn't think that back surgery was going to keep Lindaraxa from having her Fall decorations up this year, did you? If you did, you don't know her very well....
I have gotten to really enjoy those little electric carts that they have at some stores for shoppers with disability, although I have to say that what I see mostly riding them are really overweight people. Sometimes you see two, one on each cart of course, following the other. People like my mother, who really need them, for some reason refuse to use them. I think it's their way of fighting back although once she came to live with us she tossed in the towel. As for me, if that is the only thing standing between me and my mums, I don't care. They are really a good device for getting people like me to do what they have to do.

I'm telling you this because I'm sure you are wondering how I got the mums. Between us chickens, I sneaked out of the house one afternoon when I heard Costco had them and made up some cockamamie excuse as to how they got to the front door. And part of it is true, for I am lucky to live in an area of the country where gentlemen still open doors for you and bend over backwards when you ask for a little help, I usually pick a really cute one, particularly when I'm shopping for electronic gadgets or a Christmas sweater for my son and it drives my daughter insane. Anyway, the mums got here and the new wreath was brought in by the Three Kings. Now, I have to figure out the pumpkins...

| Once I can get a good samaritan to move the fern and the ivy to MM's apt. I will rearrange with a pumpkin or two |
Once the mums are done, I have orange pansies in the urn which, with the pumpkins, should carry us through Thanksgiving. That's as far ahead as I can think right now.
