A funny thing happened to me today involving these flowers.  I have been driving past this farm stand on my way to Target for a couple of weeks.  Every time I drive by I want to by Hydrangeas, but I do not have any cash.  Today I had some cash, so I decided I would buy them on the way back from the store.  I was at Joann's waiting in a long line with a son who needed to pee.  I was irritated and on edge.  Colton was not staying in the cart and cooper keeps asking if I will buy him candy.  I get to the register and swipe my debit card to pay for my items.  It is taking a long time to process my transaction.  Finally she tells me the machine is not working.  I have to put an item back and then use my cash.  I am upset and leave the store frustrated.  We head home and I drive by the farm stand sad and mad.  As I passed the farm stand I noticed a yard that had lots of Hydrangeas.  I decide to stop and ask them if I could have some of their flowers, thinking that I will never see them again.  I pulled up and knocked on the door and a familiar face opened the door.  At first I could not put a name with a face.  I said I know you.  She said, I am Dr.  blank at Amherst Pediatrics where my kids go to the Doctors.  I told her who I was and hesitated to ask her if I could have some of her flowers.  She thought I was asking if I could take some of her hydrangea plants to plant in my yard.  She was delighted when I asked for cuttings only.  I then cut some to make me feel good on a beautiful Autumn day.  Long story for flowers.
The boys decided to make some scary Halloween masks.  They were very excited about their masks and ran around the house trying to scare Colton and I.  Colton was scared and actually started crying and they removed their masks to show Colton they were his brothers.  We are really getting into Halloween this year.  We have hung ghosts from the trees and decorated our porch with dead trees and other creepy stuff.

I love those kind of flowers. I wanted to buy flowers at Trader Joes the other day but didn't want to "splurge", maybe next time I will.
