Cobbler!

Here is a rhubarb cherry crisp that I heard on the radio, sounded real good and tastes real good too!  Off to share some with the neighbors.

Watermelon

I have been having a hankering for some watermelon this year!  It is very difficult to find any good ones around here. There are the little produce patches along the roads, but they all have melons that are brought up from Georgia!!  I don't want that, I want some good ones!!!  The grocery stores and Wal-mart only have tha little round ones too. I want a long striped melon and it is as scarce as hens teeth seems, to find. 
Do you think it is too late to plant some from seed?  I looked at some seeds and it said 90 days till maturity. I don't really want to eat watermelon in September :((  Are there any solutions ?

Good soup!

   Mama dear, I have to tell you how much I enjoyed that wonderful soup you made last Sunday!  Oh it hit the spot for my supper at work too. I work with an Irishman, here and I was nice enough to share a little bowl with him, and can you believe what he SAID !!!!!! Oh it was just preposterous!  " I am not a soup eater. "  he said ! What kind of Irishman is he anyway, so I just kept all my WONDERFUL soup to myself and enjoyed it to the last drop Humph!!

Hey Mama, I read that you wanted to do

lasagna gardening next year. Well I have

all the cardboard you will need here at

work. They are pieces that are 2  1/2 ft.

square. The boss got them at an auction

and thought he was getting boxes that

 had not been used, but when they went

 to pick them up, they were just flat pieces

of cardboard.  He said I could have them

all because they were going to get rid of

 them. So, I have your first layer for you !!

Ocean waves!

Here is the highlight of my vacation!  It was a surprise from my boss and his wife. I didn't even know you could ride on the beaches, I do now!  I would highly recommend it, if an opportunity ever arose. 
We had to be there at 7:00 a.m. to beat the heat but even that early it was sooo hot and humid and the horses were wringing wet the whole time. We even saw a small 3 ft shark washed up on the beach. Ekkk!
It was a 2 hour ride, and I had not been on a horse since 2006 when I went to Texas to see Lori!   It has taken 2 weeks to walk normally !  I would do it again though : ))))

My flowers

Here is my new flower display on my porch.  It is hard to find pretty shade plants, so I hope there is enough light there for them.
