Y is for Yellow around and about the house.

| I think this banana is perfectly ripe. My father would have agreed, but my mother would have said that it was almost rotten. Ward will eat them green or very ripe. What's your banana preference? |
 |
| This is a very positive picture book about the possibilities of a day. Good pictures and simple words for kids and also, a great message for adults and kids alike. It's one of my favorites. |
 |
| I snatched this magnet from my mother's refrigerator when we were cleaning out her house. Blue and Yellow (gold) are WV's state colors. |
 |
| Double sided tape always says school projects to me. Many posters were made with this kind of tape at our house when Wally and Theo were in school. BTW, I learned from all of them that you get what you pay for with DS tape. |
 |
| Speaking of school, these are scissors that Theo used in third grade. The pen on top is my new favorite. It writes with smooth purple ink. |
 |
| This is one of my gardening reference books. Like most of the Dummies books, it gives good information in a clear, easy to read style. |

| Dandelion and a tiny ant enjoying its nectar. Dandelions are so pretty. I wonder when it was decided that they were a weed? |
 |
| Leaf scoops. These are handy for picking up any kind of debris around the yard. We bought them on an impulse several years ago and have never regretted it. |
 |
| The groundcover, yellow lanium, is in bloom. With its varigeited leaves and yellow blooms I think it is quite pretty. |
Another fun post! I tend to prefer my bananas to be on the green side! I've two bananas that look a lot like the one in your picture and they are a bit too ripe for my liking! I should probably freeze them to make a smoothie, later.
ReplyDeleteDandelions are very pretty and nutritious, too! The Armenian store sells dandelion greens. I guess we started to consider it as a weed when we stopped cultivating it as a pot herb!
My mother liked bananas on the green side, also. My father used to say that she liked them when they snapped. :)
ReplyDeleteI certainly know about eating dandelion greens, but I've never heard of growing them in a pot. You just picked them where from wherever they grew naturally. I learn something new every day here.
I like my bananas yellow, with a little green around the stem, although I'll eat them the way you pictured. I will also wait another day or two and then bake with them (or do the smoothie thing, like Bless).
ReplyDeleteI've never seen leaf scoops, but now I'm intrigued.
I don't think I've read that book by Cynthia Rylant, but my whole family loved her Mr. Putter and Tabby series. It's about an older man and his cat--as a cat person, I got a kick out of them.
I love Mr. Putter and Tabby, also. Cynthia Rylant is a prolific author who happens to be from WV. "When I Was Young in the Mountains" is my favorite book of hers.
DeleteI love bananas, but like them firm but ripe, no squishy ripe. When they get a bit mushy that's smoothie material then.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like bananas these days start out very green then turn an odd combination of green and too ripe. Someone said that there's a different type of bananas now and they don't ripen was well as they used to. Don't know if that's true, but I'm not a fan of the combo banana.
