Some chit chat.

It’s been interesting since my last Sunday post. Hurricane Nate came in late Saturday night. It was super windy and tons of rain. But no major damage. It did blow down all the pecans in my trees. It sounded like bombs going off. I went out Sunday morning and there were thousands of them on the back porch and in the front and back yard.

I’ve been gathering them up and the pecan wholesaler opens Monday. Hoping for a good price as these are Elliot’s, the cream of the crop. We’ll see.

And I’ve got some iffy news about my bananas. The batch was on the tallest tree and it was above the roof line. The winds blasted it and broke it. Dang it!

They actually are still growing and looking better than the first few attempts. The top of the tree is bent over but still green so who knows. I think they were protected hidden between the other trees and might make it. Those pale yellow flowers are now getting longer and becoming little bananas. Cross you finger that they keep going! I know they look small but this is when the actually banana forms and gets  bigger.

Happy Sunday everyone!

Some chit chat.

Been doing the same old, same old. LOL Binging some shows, reading a bunch of books, and dragging myself home every day after work. It’s still super hot and muggy and I feel so drained after working outside all day. One good thing about the hot weather, the pool is the perfect temp and I’m loving every day I can still enjoy it.

My bananas are finally starting to grow again. Crossing my fingers the heat wave lasts long enough to give them a chance to grow. The raised leaf wasn’t open at all yesterday. And there are already some flowers.

And who believes that money grows on trees? Anyone who grows fruits and nuts do. I’m sitting here right now listening to the loud thuds of pecans falling on my roof. Look at these beauties.

I have Elliot’s, the most desired of pecans. So meaty and tasty. I’ll be doing a lot of crawling around on the ground to gather them and sell them at our local pecan warehouse. Of course, I’ll keep some for myself.

I’ll be heading over to your posts soon. Happy Sunday!

You’d never know that fall is coming from the weather we’re having here. It’s back up to 90 and the sun is so hot your skin feels like it’s on fire. Makes that pool so delicious to dip into. I figure I have quite a few more weeks until I’ll be thinking first before jumping in. LOL

Been reading a lot. Mostly horror and thrillers for my 31 Days Of Thrills And Chills posts in October. But I’ve slipped in a few cozies and some children’s books too.

And been watching a lot of shows and movies. I’m binging Longmire right now. Starting back at the beginning and watching the entire show now that it’s concluded. The first new episode in Fear The Walking Dead felt like a dud for me. Two hours of not much of anything. Did you watch it? What did you think?

Now I’m waiting for The Walking Dead and Survivor.

This is last weeks photo for the bananas.

Nothing has changed with my banana tree so I thought to share some of the other things growing in my back yard.

This is the corner of my house where the banana trees grow. As you can see, that new leaf coming out of the top goes way above my roof.

I bought this plant at the local nursery several years ago. I was trimming it to look more like a tree but this year I left it alone.

It has these beautiful violet flowers that dangle on thin threads from the branches. In the sun they look blue.

I’ll hopefully have new photos of progress on my bananas to share next week.

I’ll be heading over to your posts soon. Happy Sunday!

Some chit chat.

What’s been happening this week? Well, the news is all about Hurricane Irma. A massive storm heading for the west coast of Florida. So far, it’s not supposed to do much in my area. I live about one hour west of Pensacola, which is located in the Florida panhandle. This storm has moved more west that first reported and I’m anxiously waiting for the turn to the north that is supposed to happen. Keep all those in Irma’s path in your thoughts and prayers.

This is last weeks photo for the bananas.

And here is some from this week.

We had a little cold front move through and I think it caused the flowers to fall off. A new leaf has peeled back so I’m hoping for more flowers and should see some bananas forming soon. I hope!

Here are some of the flowers that fell off.

I was researching on line and found out that the large purple thing is actually filled with flowers and is kind of like a bulb. It will continue to open up and produce rows of flowers and bananas. And you can eat the flowers too.

I’ll be heading over to your posts soon. Happy Sunday!

Some chit chat.

This week seemed so long. Probably because it was my first full week back at work. LOL Every day I came home and collapsed on the couch. Couldn’t seem to find the energy for my blog either. I think this is the least amount of posts for a week that I’ve done in some time. I managed to read a few books. And I watched the last two episodes of Game Of Thrones. Bazinga! What a season finale. Now a whole year until the last season.

I did manage to squeeze in some pool time in between rain storms. Hurricane Harvey dumped some rain on us, but nothing like in Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi. Those poor people. Now we have Irma churning in the open waters. Going to be huge but I don’t think it will come our way. Crossing my fingers!

This is last weeks photo for the bananas.

And here are some current ones.

~~~

Things are changing. Notice the yellow blossom?

And the bottom tips are darkening too.

I’m going to have to goggle about what the flower means.

I’ll be heading over to your posts soon. Happy Sunday!
