We're Having A BABY!!!!! .. Pineapple Tales (Post 1 - Day 1)

Short Blog Entries..

Following the progress of our new baby Pineapple!

Several Years Ago ..

I would say roughly 10 years at this point, I had bought a Pineapple form the local grocery store. After cutting the top off and grilling the rest, I threw the top onto my compost pile. To my surprise, the top never did wilt and wither away, but rather began to grow and flourish in the pile of scraps. I eventually moved it to a quiet area of the garden so it could continue its second chance at life. By the time the growing season, here in New Jersey, was over and Falls chill was setting in, I decided to move the plant indoors. I carefully removed it from the garden, placing it into a pot with a bit of the soil it has now grown accustom to.

In The Garden ..

Here you can see the plant sitting at the end of the cucumber plants. :-O ... Oh, yea.. that's 45 cucumbers laying there. I eventually have to throw some out. Just too many and no one wants them. I can only eat so many.

There She Is, Happy In Her Little Area Of The Garden ..

My Helpers ..

So It Found A Place Indoors ..

Among the rest of our house plants. Snuggled up to a very sunny corner of our home by a sliding glass door. A perfect area for sun loving plants.. nice and toasty there. The Original, along with another, remain in the same area today. The second plant was given to us by the original Pineapple plant. It grew a pineapple about 4 years after I brought it indoors. We ate it after it grew and turned yellow. I cut that top off and placed it into the garden the same way.. BAM! a second plant! Pictured here you will see all of my sun lovers including the two pineapple plants (far front right.. they look like Yucca Plants) ..

The One On The Left..

Is the original plant and the one to the far right is her 1st baby :-)

It's With Great Pleasure ..

Today that I announce a new addition to Brad's Pineapple Family .. A BABY PINEAPPLE is on the way!!!! If you look into the center of the plant, you can see it starting to form. I was trimming off some dead leaves and tending to all of the plants last week and I did NOT see any signs of a pineapple forming, so this truly is a surprise to us. I figure that this will be the perfect opportunity for me to document the progress and share with my fellow stemian followers. Sooooo... I will keep you posted on its progress as the weeks pass. Eventually it will bloom.. and that's pretty neat to see. Tiny purple flowers.. Can't Wait!

Here Are The First Few Pictures..

About Me ~ The Artist

My art work incorporates a wide variety of subject matter, including landscape, seascape, cityscape, and still life images. My works are the product of a continuing process of exploration through which I seek to portray personal and visionary interpretations of my surroundings. My paintings are impressions of places and events from everyday life, an interpretation of my imagination, and personal responses to what I see and feel on a daily basis. More recently I have invested generous amounts of time into my landscape painting. I am surrounded by natural and man made beauty, which inherently presents itself in the tri-state area, and almost demands that I paint it.

Not everything is art. Art is not everything, but it comes close. Art is everywhere and all the time. Art makes you experience the beauty of the world, the people in it, and the places we call home. Art itself is so influential that it can tell stories, show feelings, and express passion or fury. Art exists in addition to language; expression of sensations and thoughts, revealing a way of thinking too subtle and delicate for words.

For me art requires love, honesty and perseverance. In return, it reveals some personal, non-analyzable, and creative untamed passion. For the public, art with its magnificent beauty, improves mood and health and builds better human beings and communities. It engages the intellect, softens the heart, strengthens the soul and frees the spirit.
