My hubby bought me a present

My hubby bought me a perfect present to celebrate the beginning of the autumn season, four beautiful six inch pots of mums.

I love the colors, light violet and dark red, I know that there are only three shown, but I have two of each color. Over the years I make it a point to plant them in the ground and it is quite the hit and miss endeavor; some years they come back and other years they don’t. I am going to plant these in the ground and at least until the winter time I will have beautiful colors once again in my front garden. That is exciting. This is one part of autumn that I love, beautiful and colorful mums everywhere.

A Great Gift

Libya 6 x 300 dirham miniature sheet, Tripoli International Fair 2001

My grandfather went to a stamp fair in Bordeaux and bought me two stamp collecting books and a big bag of stamps to start me on my stamp collecting journey. I was seven years old and those two books are one of my priceless possessions. All the other “priceless” pieces I own are huge in sentimental value as well, another example is my Rubik’s cube.
