Pineapple Dreams

Look what I spotted at Home Depot. I was there for the millionth time but this time with out hubby. I just ran in to get some shelf paper for the bathroom. I purposely did not grab a cart. For some strange reason I gravitated towards the plants. I spotted this Pineapple plant and had to run for a cart because it was the only one they had.



I am not kidding myself I know the chance of keeping this baby a live in my climate will be a miracle, but what a glorious tropical dream if I can. I find myself starring at that pineapple it is just amazing to see it growing out of that plant.

What a weekend. We pretty much worked from sun up to sun down the whole weekend. We did manage to relax a couple hours on the fourth of July. I made chili dogs with corn on the cob. We had strawberry shortcake for dessert. I was too pooped to make home made biscuits and went the easy way and bought already made little cake cups.

We still have lots to do but are happy with what we have accomplished so far.
