Chrysanthemums
I really enjoyed this story. Its so calming and in a way romantic. I believe that this story tells us to look at the small things in life. When the women gardens and looks up every so often to see what her husband is doing he is more fixed on selling his steer and the machine. She takes the time to carefully plant each flower, trim, and weed. I think that we take that for granted to take a look at the simple beautiful things. When the man on the wagon comes he really points that out. Or maybe he just wants to make money so he compliments her. She has beautiful Chrysanthemums and he tells her that she should give them to the lady down the way. What I don't understand is why she gets mad at the man who just wants to fix her pots? Is she mad because he insists?
