A Week Or So Later

So I take a picture EVERY DAY and I noticed that every picture looked EXACTLY the same.  I didn't want to waste real estate on this blog... so I waited.  

They still look pretty much THE SAME... but MAYBE,  JUST MAYBE there is the beginning of growth on the plant on the left????  

I keep making excuses... well... it's been cold at night.

maybe they need more water.

it's early still.

I don't want to even consider that they might not grow. 

But... let's continue the positive outlook! 

May 16.  Maybe????   Here's a close up.

Third Day. Still No Change

 Third Day. Still No Change

I guess I was hoping for INSTANT GROWTH lol.  Nothing yet. 

May 9, 2021

Bananaman's are planted. One already has a bigbananaleaf! 

Ours were babies of those.  Happy MotherBanana's Day to them!

 Second Post, Same as the First

So not much is changing.  This is my second post, but the THIRD day of the Banana-Rama-Ding-Dong Fabulouso Adventure!

I guess I will have to expand on the "same old, same old" photos until the trees begin their glorious growth.  

So here's the 3rd-day pic:

                           Three days of "sticks in the ground" -  No measurable change.

Here's something entirely different!

A New Direction!

 So today, I'll start turning Hello Mugwump in a new direction.  The background is perfect, so this is the blog chosen to be...

BANANA-RAMA-DING-DONG!

Here's the background to the story.  Every day I take a walk.  One day, I saw a man in the neighborhood planting some ugly sticks.  A month later, the ugly sticks were BANANA TREES!  Now, this is NOT the tropics -  so I stopped and spoke to him to find out if they were actually banana trees and how it was possible to grow them in New Jersey.  John, the banana man, said Yes! they were banana trees and offered to give me one at the end of the season.

Months and months later, we had TWO ugly sticks in our garage.  They spent the winter there and yesterday, Ken planted them!  Now we just have to HOPE they grow!!  This blog will follow their flourishing future or their ugly stick deaths.

Thanks, in part to Cole, I'll be publishing their success or failure on this blog

So-  here goes.  The first-day pix!

Fresh from the garage in their winter buckets

Ahhhh. Bananas!

Here is the Day Two pic.  

Hmmm.  Strangely, the same.  Well. Stay Tuned!

And the tip of a hat to the mugwump

That's all for today.  I hope tomorrow's picture is DIFFERENT lol.

2019

So here's a post for 2019.

I would like to see if I can multiple contributors to this blog.  It would save me from having to log in and out of different accounts.

Hello.

I AM SO BORED

I AM SO BORED.

Mugwumps as a whole are never bored, but it seems, dear reader, that THIS mugwump is going to pass out from boredom.

I have cleaned a closet and read a book and TV is WORTHLESS... What now?

I wanted to work on a website called didyouknowthis.org but I DON'T KNOW HOW!

Oh, how I wish the rain would stop.

I'm thinking about creating an homage to my long-ago departed bird babies.  That's the ticket! But first, this whiney complaint.

I would rather scan old photos, but they are all at the very back of the skinny bathroom closet and it's IMPOSSIBLE to get to them easily.  (see photo below)

Here is a link to my favorite new youtube video (I really don't have ANY favorite youtube videos, but I do like this)

I was walking down the road and I saw a donkey - heehaw He only had three legs He was a wonky donkey

wonky donkey wonky donkey yeah I was walking down the road and I saw a donkey - heehaw He only three legs and one eye He was a winky wonky donkey winky wonky donkey winky wonky donkey

Where does the time go?

With a need for a 2017 post on this fabulous mugwump blog...  Where does the time go seems to be a valid question.  WHAT is the answer?  No idea.

Ask the mugwump.

LUNCH TIME!!

I feel much better now that there's a post for 2017.. I mean WHY WASTE this wonderful blog on emptiness?
