Recuperation journey: Rushing the season

Rushing the season is not really like me, but I love mums. 

They're colorful and autumn-ish. And autumn is my favorite season. 
Guess you could say I'm a fall freak, a new term a friend used on Facebook the other day! 

I realize it's still summer, and I don't wish my life away, but nevertheless I bought a mum for the front yard. 

And I plan to get a few more as the season officially approaches.
