"Mums" the Word

To kick off fall, we decided to plant some mums to help brighten the fading autumn garden.  Charlie decided to supervise this undertaking while Mike did ALL the work. (What?  I was busy taking pictures.)
So here is Supervisor Chaz.

"Ah, Daddy?  Not to be bossy, but a little to the right."

"Let's see.  This looks and feels like good, rich soil."

"The blooms look strong and plentiful."

"Momma Mia, this-a reminds-a me of the garden I-a planted in-a Iiiitalyyyyy.  Perfetto!"

"Let me inspect, closer, on the other end."

"I'm very pleased with the garden.  I think yellow makes me look sunny."
