New Pineapple

 My wife noticed a wonderful surprise the other day.  A brand new pineapple fruit is sprouting out of one of our pineapple plants.  We enjoyed watching another one grow to a good sized fruit a couple of years ago before it was stolen by a neighborhood critter.  We'll protect this one a lot better this time.  A couple of months ago, our sunflower garden was looking good but now as you see it is looking pretty sad.  In addition to the coming fall season, the plants got a little beat up from some heavy rain storms we've had recently.
