Soooo Katie Hubbard had mentioned to me when she first got back from Zambia that she always wanted mums in autumn but never seemed to take the time to buy them when the season arrived. (she makes this gift thing soooo easy ;)
I had mums on my list for a couple months and told myself to wait until it was officially fall to buy them....that day came the Saturday after labor day (in my mind haha). I drove to Curtis Orchard after a church event(I had remembered seeing the biggest, bestest mums in the world there last year) and I was pretty dead set on getting a couple rose colored mums for her. I walked in and there were these two humongous mum plants to my right, but upon further inspection I realized they were yellow. poo! I kept circling the hundred or so plants....to no avail. I just couldn't pass up those two yellow ones since they were just so big!! I figured, well yellow is cheerful, and Katie is cheerful...so this will work.
I swung by the Hubbard house to leave them at her door....she was home though and came around the side of the house to greet me :) I went to show her my gifts that I was all excited about, and she sees the mums and starts laughing...she goes on to tell me that she had purchased yellow mums earlier this year, but when they bloomed they came out brown!! eww! so she kept waiting to buy them...and just that very day she had been out shopping with the fam and had resisted buying them again....later the entire family attested to that fact....and here I was, with 2 yellow mums in hand!!! heehehe
God is GOOD!! so fun, i just love how God plans out even the little details in our lives :)
