Prizes!!

You do win prizes from online games and sweepstakes. I played this one from Home Depot and Wendy's several times (you could play 5 times each day)for about 3 days, I believe and won a $10 gift card!! WOO HOO!!

I used it several months later to buy new lattice and stakes for my gardening efforts!

Watermelon Harvest

Again, we are still posting about Sept. I had started cleaning out the garden to prepare for my fall, salad garden and had cut out any unnecessary watermelon vines... OR SO I THOUGHT!! A few days later I realized that the final watermelon was not ready yet, BUT the vine was drying up. I checked it out and, YES! I had cut the one leading to that melon!! We got to eat the center of it, which meant about 3 bites for us all. Not such great watermelon success this summer for us. I will try again in the spring tho. Maybe we'll have better luck.

Emma is intrigued with this "ball" in her wagon.

You'd think it was her new best friend!


I just wish it had been allowed to continue growing! It had good flavor.



STILL playing catch-up...
