Some chit chat.

Well, my staycation is over and I sure enjoyed it. Spent lots of time outdoors, reading and swimming. The weather cooperated and there was plenty of sunshine. I used to wonder what I would do with my time when I retired. Now I know! I could definitely get used to it.

Since I hid out at home most of the week, I don’t have much new to share so I’ll get right to my book news.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!

I’m on staycation! I plan to hang around home. Got all my errands run and stocked up on snacks and such so I don’t have to leave home until I return to work on Thursday. Also got my QUE packed on Netflix and a stack of DVDs to watch. My Kindle is waiting and so are some print books. Did a double take when I noticed most of the books were horror or thrillers,  Happy days! LOL I finally kicked my slump in the patootie and writing lots of reviews and getting back to blogging ahead. All that’s keft to do is step out the back door and enter my little slice of heaven. I’ll be enjoying that pool!

After some delicious, spicy Bloody Mary’s in the mornings and tart and tangy Matgarita’s in the afternoons, I’ll wrestle this gator that crawled in my pool. And if all I did was drink the whole time, he’d probably win!

That’s all for this week.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!

It’s been a week of storms here on the Gulf Coast! At least one mother of a storm each day during the work week. Some were very scary. The thunder shook the house and the straight line winds shrieked around the windows. Guess mother nature is preparing me for the beginning of hurricane season in June. LOL

Since I didn’t have as many opportunities to swim in the afternoons, I got busy on blogging ahead and writing a bunch of reviews. Also caught up on some shows and watched a few movies I’d been meaning to get to. And I came up with a blog post that’s going to be fun to put together. I love pie. All kinds of pie. I once dreamed of opening my own pie cafe. So, I’m gathering info from a bunch of movies that have pie as part of their theme. I’ll also be adding a few with other kinds of baked goodies. And I’m having a blast rewatching the movies! If you have any movie suggestions, please share them!

And now for my weekly plant update. Not as many pics this week as it was raining every day when I got home from work.

Here’s a pic of one corner of my back patio. Been working on shaping these up. And Quigley snuck in this one. I didn’t even notice him until I uploaded this pic. LOL

See how the tall sega’s leaves are laying horizontal. It won’t be producing new leaves this year so I’m just cutting back the brown ones.

The seed ball is really growing in the center. It gets huge and has tons of these dark red leathery seed pods. I should get a bunch this winter..

And here’s another corner where the banana trees and such are growing. Sorry it’s got a bit of glare. Had to take a quick pic in between rains.

Some of the banana trees are already above the roof line. There a bunch of smaller ones popping up all over too. Should be a nice crop.

That’s all folks.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!

Thanks to everybody for your well wishes about my pink eye. It’s all better now. Just in time for a five day weekend. I’ve been watching the telly, reading a bunch of books and taking some relaxing naps. I love a good nap. When I was younger, I wouldn’t take them. Thought it was a waste of time. Now I like to fit them in here and there. I wake up 20 to 30 minutes later feeling rested and alert. Do you like to take naps?

I hope you don’t mind, but I’m sharing more pictures of my plants.

This is my sega from last week.

Now that the sega has sprouted I cut off the old leaves and the sprouts are now opening and looking like leaves. It’s also about a foot taller.

And remember this from last week? It was just one bloom.

Just one week later.

See how the flowers bloom from the top down. If you look closely, you can see the third bloom starting to turn pink. The yellow and green buds below will grow and turn pink, stacking one on the other. It happens really fast.

And I thought I’d share a recent picture of Flora. She’s growing and growing.

That’s all folks.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!

It was a busy week at work. I got lucky and Friday was a free day off so I’m enjoying the long weekend. Spent Friday doing yard work as Saturday is supposed to be stormy. Sunday, I’m outside working on the pool. Time to get it ready for some swimming.

I read some good books this week. And I’m all wrapped up in The Terror, that new series on television. Is anyone watching it? What do you think so far? I could swear it’s based on a book I started but never finished. Now to find it in my stacks and see if I’m right. It’s a super huge paperback.

I figured I’d give Flora a break. She’s tired of having to grow for the camera. LOL Really though, it was raining and super windy so I couldn’t get a good new pic of her. Will share next week. For now, here’s my partner in crime, Quigley.

He’s all snuggled up between a stack of pillows, trying to act like I’m not taking his picture, but I see the ear pulled back and the white of his eye. LOL

And last week I shared about my Sega Palm’s starting to grow.

This is actually one of my smaller segas and the little spikes sure have grown. They are so soft right now.

And the banana trees are thriving!

Also, this plant comes back every year. I don’t know the name of it. Came with the house. They get this gorgeous flower and then tall leaf fronds that look like corn stalks after the bloom fades. As it blooms, it’s one flower on top of the other and kind of looks like a pink coconut. You can see the other stalks peeking out of the ground all around this one.

If anyone knows what this is, I’d love to hear from you!

That’s all folks.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!
