Just Another Dab of This and That....

 What happens when you plant  two different colors of pink, knockout roses next to each other? Daughter's knockout roses - picture taken in May.

After a hot Summer,  and then the Japanese beetles did their damage, they are starting to spring back and produce a few new blooms before the cold sets in.  It seems a little cross pollination took place, and here is the results.

Sadly, to late in the year for them to spring back to their beauty they displayed last Spring, and Summer.  Looking forward to next year's display.

On their yearly trip to the local pumpkin patch, they found some very odd ones.

 I asked her if the white were attached after picked, and she said they were grafted together while still growing in the field.

More pics from the trip to the pumpkins patch another time.

  Anyone tried these yet?

I have not.  However, daughter did and said there are 3 colors, each one representing a different part of a pecan pie. She said they were good, and felt she deserved them after a major grocery shopping trip on a Saturday morning when everyone else decided to do their shopping. Excuses, Excuses. :-D !

Actually - sounds like a good enough excuse to me.

I remember the old time karo pecan pies many of us grew up with in the South.  Many years ago, the head of the department I worked in always brought pecan pies to many of our luncheons - whatever the occasion.  They were so good and  when she heard I liked them so much, she would bring an extra and tell me to tuck it away and take it home.  She said she would give me the recipe, but it never happened.   Kinda think it was her "little secret" - so good.
