Some chit chat.

I hope ya’ll had a lovely Thanksgiving. I spent mine at home with my son, watching movies and reading and playing games. It’s a five day weekend for me and I’ve been loving it. Even started doing some Christmas decorating. Today is sunny and 70s so I hope to get started on the front of the house while it’s beautiful out. The decorations always look a bit odd to me without snow but I’ll take the warmer climate here any day! LOL

I thought it was time to update you on my green friends. Here’s the seed ball on one of my Sega Palms.  You can’t really tell it’s size but it’s big. About two feet around.

Here’s a closer look. You can see the bright orange seeds.

A closer look again. The ball looks almost prehistoric. And when you touch the feathery looking fronds, they are so soft.

As they continue to grow the fronds will open and reveal hundreds of the orange seeds. I hope to have better luck when harvesting them. Last year I did it wrong and didn’t get many to grow. I’ll share the process once I get started, probably late in January.

And here’s Flora. Such a trooper. Still growing even though some temps have dipped down to almost freezing. As long as no ice stays on her leaves, she’ll keep growing.  I wish you could see her. You’d appreciate how huge and beautiful she is. To give you an idea, this is only a corner of my house behind her. There’s a cobblestone walkway behind her but she’s gotten so big you can’t find it now. LOL

You can make out the banana trees and they go way above the rooftop and the elephant ears you see behind her have leaves about three feet in size.

The Farmer’s Almanac says we are going to have super cold temps late in the winter. I’m hoping they’re wrong!

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

What a week! It rained. The wind blew. It got freezing cold. For the first time I had to turn on the furnace. It’s off again now as the sun has come out and it’s supposed to be beautiful and in the 70s all next week. With Thanksgiving and Friday off of work, I’ll have a short week and plan to get back to sprucing up the yard. I also got out the Christmas decorations and will be doing that next weekend too.

On a quick note. My internet provider was down for a few days and I couldn’t get around to visit ya’ll like I wanted. Sorry about that. I’m working my way through emails and such to try and catch up on posts I’ve missed.

Whoa! The weather took a turn for the chilly this weekend. I went to bed to howling winds Friday night. Woke up to more wind and cold temps. The sun is out but the north winds catch my breath. And it’s supposed to get even colder next week. Even down into the 30s one night. Not liking that. And I guess swimming is out of the question this weekend. LOL

On a brighter note. I’ve been reading a bunch of cozies and having all kinds of fun. Of course, I have also been reading some scary books.

And my son and I just are watching Stranger Things. We went back and started at the beginning and plan to watch two episodes a night to catch up on all episodes. I forgot how scary some of it was. Have you watched it? What do you think?

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

Halloween has come and gone and now we’re heading into the second week of November. Crazy how time flies! Not much new for me this week. I did finish Hill House. My son and I broke it up into two episodes each viewing, at night…..in the dark. LOL Every time someone said that in the movie I grinned. Spooooky!

We finally got some cool weather here. It dipped down below 50 last night. The house didn’t feel cold though. The heat from the sun during the day keeps it pretty warm in the evenings. I did spend some time getting out the cold weather clothes, washing them, and putting them in easy reach.

I also took a walk around the house, enjoying all of the plants before winter does set in and they die off til next year. Here they are now. All of these grew bigger this year than any other year.

If we don’t get and freezing temps this winter, they’ll stay green. But the almanac says we are going to have brutal cold after the first of the year. I’m hoping its wrong!

Today my boss and his son are going to try to come by and help build me a fire pit. I get so many limbs and cuttings that I want to be able to sit outside on cool nights and burn them, enjoying the fire and relaxing with a hot cuppa.

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

Whew. What a week. Work was crazy busy and all I wanted to do when I got home each day was lay like broccoli. LOL

I’m still watching The Haunting Of Hill House. Two episodes to go. My son and I watch one each night. We also watched Ready Player One. What a trip. Had loads of fun trying to spot different characters. And Iron Giant. I love that lug! The movie put me in the mood for some others so I watched Guardians Of The Galaxy 1 and 2. Great tunes and loads of action. Just what I needed.

I started reading some Christmas books and looking for some shows and movies. It will be here before you know it. Guys, where did this year go????

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

We finally got a bit of fall weather but it didn’t last long. Then we were back up to high 80s and sticky. LOL  The bit of cool weather reminded me I need to decorate so I’ll be doing that this weekend. Gots to get some spooky going on here.

I’ve also been doing a ton of reading and writing. My 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills is going strong. It sure is whittling down my TBR. But, while browsing my books, I discovered some new releases and just added more to the TBR. An endless cycle and I love it.

Of course, I’ve also been watching the telly. Viewing a lot of old favorites and watching some new ones. My plans for the weekend were to binge The Haunting Of Hill House. Will be finishing it tonight and I’m really enjoying it. Have you watched it yet? What do you think?

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

My thoughts go out to those in the path of the hurricane. We were lucky here and only had some breezy days. Hope everyone came through okay.

We finally got some fall like weather. While the sun is still hot, there is no humidity and the nights are cool. I got in the pool and the water temp was a bit chilly. Forgot to check and see how much the temp had dropped. I actually love cooler water for swimming. It was a shock the first time I swam in the ocean. It was as warm as bath water. LOL I plan to enjoy the pool while I still can.

I’ve been reading a lot of horror and watching plenty of scary movies. Been having fun with my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills. I plan to do a Cozy November next and share a bunch of my cozy mystery books. Then I think I’ll relax for December, I hope. LOL I do have some great holiday reads to share.

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

Isn’t it supposed to be fall? You wouldn’t know it where I’m at. The temps are still close to 90s and I’m loving it. The pecan trees are dropping their leaves and starting to look a bit bare but everything else is green and still growing. The pool is delicious at around 87 degrees and I try to get in and swim every day until it gets too cold.

I noticed Christmas decorations in several stores this week. I couldn’t resist picking up an ornament. LOL  This got me turning to my fall and Halloween decorations. I always buy some on sale after the holidays are over and can’t wait to see what I grabbed last year.

Also been reading a lot of scary books for my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills feature this month. Sharing a review each day plus some extra ones will be thrown in for tours I’m participating in.

And I’m watching lots of scary movies and shows too. It surprises me I don’t have more nightmares.  How about you? Do scary books and movies haunt your dreams?

Have a fabulous  Sunday and brand new week!

It’s been one of those same old, same old weeks. Nothing much new happening. Probably a good thing as I’m writing reviews like crazy for my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills feature in October.

The weather is still hot with a few rainy days to cool it down a bit. Still enjoying the pool. Remember my giant spider? He’s moved back up in the trees. A sure sign fall isn’t far away. And the leaves are falling from the pecan trees. I can sweep the deck, come back out in a couple of hours, and it looks like I never swept. Sure wish I had a leaf blower. LOL
