So true!<\/p><\/div>\n

We were terrible today; we did not arise until almost 7:00 am!\u00a0 Scout slept in, so he did not act as our alarm clock!<\/p>\n

Someone stole our mountain!\u00a0 The fog was heavy again this morning, so we lit the firepit, hoping to get rid of the mist; alas, it did not work!\u00a0 The fog stayed around for another hour, meaning we stayed in the house until the sun came out.<\/p>\n

The day started at the firepit!<\/p><\/div>\n

Our family is posting Easter pictures, and we loved this one of Jon and Colleen in New Hampshire.\u00a0 I cannot believe my grandson is almost thirty-five; where has the time gone?<\/p>\n

Grandson Jon and our daughter Colleen<\/p><\/div>\n

We planned out the day, and it involved WORK!\u00a0 Mary mulched the flower garden after weeding it.\u00a0 She planted some flowers in the front yard and assisted me in placing the guava tree.<\/p>\n

I planted Mary’s Pineapple Guava tree, which we got at the Home Depot yesterday.\u00a0 Using the powered auger and some elbow grease was not too difficult to do!<\/p>\n

Question of the day!\u00a0 Does it need a mate?<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 <\/strong>Pineapple guava trees are both beautiful and bountiful, yielding a tasty fruit that is guava-like in taste and appearance.\u00a0 Also sometimes known as feijoa, Acca sellowiana is not the same as a common guava tree (Psidium guajava), though they are both part of the Myrtaceae family.<\/p>\n

You can grow pineapple guava as a multi-stemmed shrub or prune it as a small tree with a central trunk.\u00a0 It features silver-green, oval foliage that remains evergreen for year-round interest.\u00a0 In the spring, bright, showy flowers appear.\u00a0 The pink and white petals surround spiky, bright red stamens.\u00a0 These sweet-smelling, vibrant flowers attract various birds and are edible for humans.\u00a0 Pineapple guava trees are slow-growers, ideal for containers and small spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
