November Flower of the Month Chrysanthemum

Greeting to all!
I am fighting major headaches (storms moving in, out and all around apparently).
Plus, we still haven't figured out why our internet is being squirrely. Is it our computer? Is it the blogspot's computers? Twitch in the cable? Did someone open up a computer room with scads of computers hooked onto the same cable as ours?
These are deep questions....
oh not really. They just seem important when I am trying to post a blog!
:0)

November's Flower of the Month is the Chrysanthemum.
From here on I will refer to the flower as 'mum' as I don't feel like typing the whole word out each time.
