Monstera leaf, garden

A humid morning
 

Me and most of my girls. Janie behind the camera.

 

Kate, about to cause trouble.

Da Girls

This week, both daughters and only granddaughter arrived for a great visit. The dreaded family pictures weren't all bad.

Janie, after the rain

 We had a day of solid downpours today and the yard was littered.

Forbidden fruit

I planted this tree 25 years ago. It took a long time to produce beautiful grapefruit, red fleshed and juicy. By that time I was on two medications that forbade grapefruit...sigh
 

Air potato, garden

The University of Florida has addressed the plague of these invasive air potatoes by releasing an insect that loves to eat them. I am hoping that the bug was vetted and will not join the list of solutions that become problems. They have reached our area and are turning the vines into Swiss cheese. Yay!

Autumn and the leaves are changing...

After the one below, here is one in the fullness of health.

Autumne figs

 Another benefactor of more sun.

Pomegranates, garden

I have two pomegranate bushes. One is on the dock, in full sun and the other in shade in the garden. The shaded one has always produced tiny fruit that didn't fully ripen. In fact I thought it was a dwarf pomegranate. I had to cut down three trees in the yard, which exposed it to much more sun. It has thrived and set a bunch of fruit at much closer to full size. Next year it should be covered.
 

Air potatoes. This vine is very invasive. It will spread from underground roots, every leaf node that touches the ground and the potato-like fruit that forms in the Autumn. Lovely leaves though. Eat up bugs!

Three patient people, Aix

 We went to  the Cezanne exhibit in Aix en Provence yesterday and for the second year in a row, I showed up at a museum with a Swiss army knife in my pocket. And I had to leave it at the entrance. Nobody was pleased with me. This was taken as i retrieved it while we were ready to go to lunch.
