MMMM....Watermelon!


Really, there are few things better than a sweet, juicy watermelon!


MB's parents found a Black Diamond watermelon. Apparently, it's one of those old original types of melon, and, oh my! It was SO delicious! Humongous, too. I was amazed at the size of that thing. The seeds were twice the size of your average watermelon seed, and there seemed to be fewer of them. Half of that melon was the size of your typical grocery store melon. And sweeter, too....


So, if you're hot, and a bit overwhelmed by summer, go get one. If you can take a little extra time to drive out into the country, or visit a Farmer's Market, and get one fresh off the back of some good ol' boy's truck, even better!


Then, find somewhere with some grass, kick off your shoes, and grab a slice. Just see if the taste of the melon on your tongue, and the feel of those sweet, sticky juices dripping off your chin won't inspire some feelings of relaxation.
And just for good measure...try and see just how far you can spit one of those seeds!

I am addicted to ribbon!

I really am!

I bought somewhere around 350 yards today. Now, granted, I do plan to use the ribbon to make hairbows and, hopefully, a little money in the process, but still!

I literally cannot walk through Michael's or Hobby Lobby with out looking at their ribbon displays; and, I probably go through the ribbon area of Walmart at least every third time I am in that place (which is typically, around, five times a week.)


It's nuts...or perhaps I am...

Here I Go...

How many times have I been told I need to blog? If I had a nickle for every time...well, I don't, so here goes...
