Morning Skies

Tops of the palms....One lone Banana Palm coming through the Philodendrons....
Filtered light exposing the Moon....
As I walked in the garden this morning, I began
looking upward. What a beautiful blue Florida sky.
-
The Philodendron plants, damaged during the winter,
have recovered nicely and are about ten
or twelve feet tall now.
-
Years ago, the roots
from a Banana Palm crepted under the fence
from the neighbors yard, right into the midst of
the Philodendrons, and produced a
small tree. It is still comes back each year,
and stands alone.
You see, in order to produce bananas or another tree,
there must be cross pollination.
The neighbors trees, long
gone now have done so in the past.
We were fortunate enough to see one
beautiful bunch of bananas.
But now....
we enjoy the lonely little tree, in all it's splendor,
as it reaches high up toward the sky.
so.....I'm thankful for it all.
Blessings....Dee Dee
