Bananas, Not Birds / Plátanos, No Pájaros

THE BANANA PALM in our back garden produces fruit every year and Maria Carmen, the portero's wife (and the other love of Dudo and Musy's life), showed me the latest harvest. She's already removed some of the fruit, but is waiting for the rest to ripen. Then, while walking along the paseo, I saw that the city's gardeners were doing their winter trimming on the beach. More bananas!

El PLATANERO EN nuestro jardín produce fruta todos los años y María Carmen, la esposa de nuestro portero (y el amor de la vida de Dudo y Musy), me mostró la última cosecha. Ya ha eliminado parte de la fruta, pero está esperando que el resto madure. Luego, mientras caminaba por el Paseo, vi que los jardineros de la ciudad estaban haciendo sus recortes de invierno en la playa. ¡Más plátanos!





DUDO HAS EAST LOOKOUT AND MOOSE HAS SOUTH. BIRDS; NOT BANANAS.
DUDO TIENE El MIRADOR DEL ESTE Y MOOSE TIENE EL SUR. PÁJAROS; NO PLÁTANOS.

      I think the paradise is in the looking, not the catching. (At least for me.)

    Banana flowers are so intriguing and beautiful.

      I still haven't gotten used to seeing bunches of bananas on the trees. But nothing beats Canary Island bananas.

      I'll have to put one on the floor and see what they do. Dudo would probably run under the bed.

  5. Do those bananas have seeds? They've been bred out of the ones in the market.

      One of my favorite fruits, too. My mother told my obsessive-compulsive brother when he was around 13 that he should eat a banana every day. He's 57 and just about goes nuts if he doesn't have one.

      Gray and rainy today, so the pool didn't look very inviting. But it's clear right now and looks magical. These cats think if something happens once it's a tradition. (Kind of like Jerry.)
