Chrysanthemums

I planted 3 nice little hardy ‘mums from Home Depot and am kicking myself for not getting more. At 97 cents each, they were a steal.
Just received an automated recording from the Mashpee Police Chief about Hurricane Earl. At a time like this, I’m happy to not own oceanfront.
Bought some last-minute items, including decorated paper plates, thus triggering another deja vu.
