Days At Home!

 After we finished in Jonesborough, Trish and I have had a little break at home before starting on our next travel venture.  We got the 4:30 Swan Quarter ferry back to the island, a trip that is almost three hours long.  The sunset started on the ferry and finished as we landed back on the island.

First promise of sunset on the ferry.

It was a lovely sight to see our island home lighted by the full finish of sunset.

Home for a little bit.

Once we got to our house we fell into bed after a long trip.  The next morning we walked around the house to see what was new.  Our contractor, Woody, had replaced all the outside doors while we were away…a late showing bit of damage from Hurricane Dorian that is only now appearing two years later with swelling and disintegration.  

The biggest surprise, though, was the huge growth of our banana trees!  They had doubled in size and had a host of babies in the seven weeks that we were gone.  We still don’t know if we will ever get bananas, it all depends on the winter weather, but they are beautiful…and little frogs are living  in them everywhere.  We love the little frogs, they not only sing at night, they feast on mosquitos!  After one week at home, we will be on the road again.

Lost in the bananas!
