This is a Queen Palm in my front yard and its fruit is ripening and falling from the large 'bunch' high up in the tree.
It hits the ground and I can collect them for jelly (they are mostly a pit with a thick skin but very sweet juice when you pop it in your mouth! Most people just leave them for the squirrels, raccoons or possums to enjoy. Since I do NOT like those critters in my front yard, I will collect the fruit and put it out back in the critter feeder! I did make jelly when we first moved here
but it is a lot of work!
At the base of the palm tree is this pot of beautiful New Guinea Impatiens--it has exploded into a huge plant with so many blossoms over the summer! I have several in the front yard--they can handle the all day sunshine unlike many other flowers.
And this is almost gone
but I sure have enjoyed the Muscadine Cider
Bill bought for me when in Georgia.
If you see it for sale near you,
I highly recommend it giving it a try!
And inside, I caught up with block # 4 of the Garden Song sewalong ( the 4 block on the bottom left) I traced all of the appliques, fused them to the right colors and centered them on the appropriate sized background fabric. Now I just need to stitch them in place. And no, my machine is still not loving the invisible thread that I am using--it keeps telling me to check my needle thread! So it is stitch 2", get the warning beep, push the OK button and sew another 2". Not the most fun at the sewing machine but I am going to finish it!!!!!
