Two days ago I had a beautiful basket of Fall mums on my front porch.  Today all that is left are stems!  For those old enough to remember The Addams Family TV show, you’ll recall that mom Morticia was fond of roses, but she cut off the flowers and only put the stems in the vase!  That’s pretty much the story of my flower basket at the moment, thanks to the obviously mum-loving deer that visit my yard on a regular basis.  Thank goodness I spent a little while photographing the pretty blooms the other day!  This is why we can’t have nice things in the garden!
