Some chit chat.

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!

Some chit chat.

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!

Not much happening. My life is so routine right now. I work and come home. But summer will be here before you know it and then it’s poolside and good books.

With nothing new to tell you, I figured I’d share more about my plants. If this stuff bores you, just scroll down for other news.

Here’s last weeks picture of Flora.

She’s doing so well!

Underneath the larger leaves are a bunch of new tender leaves. I have a feeling Flora is going to be huge this year!

And I have some new banana trees growing.

These are already over 3 feet tall!

And I thought I’d start to share about my Sega Palms. This is how one of them looks before new growth begins and a cold winter.

Here is the center of the palm where the new shoots spring up.

This one here already has some starting. You can see the short tips poking up.

As soon as they get taller, I’ll cut off the old leaves. They are very sharp and pointy. Hurt like crazy when they stab you. The new shoots are soft like a feather and take a while to harden.

That’s all folks.

Have a fabulous  Sunday!

Another week has flown by! And spring is here at last!

Here’s last weeks picture of Flora.

And here she is today.

Underneath the larger leaves are a bunch of new tender leaves soon to pop through.

Last week I shared a picture of my pecan tree as the first buds appeared.

And look at the leaves now!

And I have some new banana trees growing!

After I got done trimming back some dead leaves I found some that were several feet tall hiding behind the mature trees. I’ll share those next week.

It’s been quiet on the home front. I’ve been reading some good books. And I started a binge watch of The Santa Clarita Diet. Have you seen the show? What a hoot! LOL

Have a fabulous Easter Sunday!

It’s been a quiet, uneventful week, except for the weather. We went from 80 to 40s and almost freezing at night. I can’t wait for spring to finally arrive. This up and down stuff is making me feel weird. LOL

 I’m sharing more pics of my plant. I went to the local nursery with pictures and they told me this is a split leaf philodendron.

Last week Daniela asked me if I’d named my plant. Never done that before.

Would you like to help me name my plant!

Come on. It’s so pretty and needs a name to flourish! Leave a suggestion in the comments!

Here’s last week picture.

One week later.

I was a bit concerned as we had a cold front move through and got some frost. But it did just fine. Look at all of the new shoots.

It’s really starting to spread out now. I plan to get the mulch down now that I can see how far out the base reaches. I’m going to use the red mulch. It looks so pretty and easy to see so I don’t run over it with the lawn mower.

Sorry these pictures aren’t as bold as previous ones. Clouds came in and covered up the sun.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

It was another beautiful week. Temps were around 80 and the sun was shining. I’m starting to stock up on pool supplies and doing some spring clean up in the yard. Time to cut back and clear the dead stuff. This weekend is a bit cooler so the perfect time to do it.

And I’m sharing more pics of my plant.

Here’s last week.

And now one week later.

Can you believe how fast it’s growing. It’s going to be so amazing this year!

And one sure sign spring is here in my neck of the woods is when the buds appear on my pecan trees. My camera didn’t want to focus so this is a bit blurry, but what you see is a soft brown tip forming on the end of the branch. As soon as it turns green the leaves will start to open.

Sta tuned. I’ll be sharing about my Sega and banana trees soon.

Have a fabulous Sunday!

Whew. It was so busy at work. I have a very physical job and I came home late every day, exhausted! One thing I do enjoy is seeing the results of my work. I detail the interior of autos and some of them are downright disgusting when they are brought in. It’s so rewarding to see them when I’m finished. I know many owner’s are shocked by how good they look. LOL

And the weather was perfect for work and for reading outside. In the low 80s and plenty of sunshine. All sorts of green is showing up and the birds are flocking. Problem with that is the bird poo on my car. LOL

Remember this from last week. The first bits of green poking through.

~~~~~

Look at it now! It’s growing so fast!

I plan to spend today on the back porch, reading and sunning. Have a fabulous Sunday!
