Lets see....
with cereal.
banana pudding.
banana bread.
with ice cream, banana split.
Just eat them.
give some away.

There are a lot more coming too. Fortunately I love them.

I have yet to eat goat that tasted good so far, even when the sauce is good lol it was very gamey and not as good as other meats.

Our friends have some ( a mini farm) and they are so cute when they are little bouncing all over everything.

I have three beautiful trees in the courtyard. One of them has termite. My hubby told the gardener to just chop down the part that has the termites but I am afraid they will dig a tunnel and go through the tree. What should I do?

We bought a laurel. We went to Pike's and saw so many bees on all the laurels.. so I just had to have one lol I love planting anything that bees will love.

We are going to place it near our mailbox because it gets a good bit of sun there .. but more as a backdrop, that way the mail carrier won't have bees in their way lol

We will be planting it today!

The laurel is planted!

Bad news... we had a cold snap the last couple days before this, and a lot of the new growth on various plants has died now :*( That makes me so sad. I was looking forward to having a good year with a lot of flowers, and now I'm not sure if they will all recover in time.

Our crepe myrtle is covered in dead buds! Almost all of them have died. I hope they grow back!

Sorry to hear it. I hate to see plants die, and I am not even much of a gardener.

I have not Karen but I have not started to look either, the new architect is behind in submitting the application for title 24 which has something to do with energy ( CA!! I swear I will eventually move out of here) and I have no idea why it takes him so long so utilities have been shut off at the property al these time.

I hope so Karen, The PE is ready to upload but she needs access to the city's portal so she called them. The permit specialist told her she needed the previous PE's permission. What??? the guy passed away over a month ago and his business has been dissoved. I immediatly wrote to the plan check architect at the city but it's already 6PM! Another day of waiting. Road block every step of the way.
