August Notes

We have had a LOT of rain this month - almost 14" in just the first 2 weeks!

I cut up the pineapple we grew and it was really good and sweet! I saved the top and planted it in a flower pot and put in our front flower bed. When I was walking Tinker the morning of the 8th, I realized something wasn't quite right in the flower bed - I couldn't see the pineapple that I had planted a few days earlier.

Sometime during the night a critter had dug up the pineapple top and gnawed off most of the fruit. The pot is on the left of the photo and the top of the pineapple is up on the right.


So I've repotted the pineapple top and it is now inside the house - safe from any night marauding critters.

Another morning surprise when I was walking Tinker, was this rainbow in the western sky behind our house. I couldn't resist taking a photo of it.


So now we have a tropical storm out in the Atlantic that may or may not be heading this way. Guess we'll be watching the weather forecasts closer now.

Mike got gas in the car this morning and filled 4 gas cans so we'll have gas for the generator should the storm come this way. I went to Publix and got some groceries and 2 cases of bottled water.
