We never grew melons so didn't know they were that 'furry' - interesting to see!

We will get a little warmer today and for the next 3 days …into the low 90*. Then back to our normal. The Delta Variant is raising its ugly head. Back to masks in most situations. After seeing all the diseases as a child disappear with vaccines, it boggles my mind that people want those type of days back. <br /><br />You must have slept well last night after all the energy spent in the garden and canning.

Love the look of your bee garden; what a great idea. How cool that Matthew was able to do that in New Mexico. I'm sure you enjoyed the chat with him. We are really hot and humid here, and I'm more than ready for it to cool down. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-28440412420401619252021-07-28T09:10:08.340-07:002021-07-28T09:10:08.340-07:00I think I remember reading somewhere that most of ...I think I remember reading somewhere that most of the early flowers on cucurbits are all male and the female flowers develop later. We had a delicious ripe melon from a local farm this morning. Fresh, ripe melon bears no resemblance to the hard rocks they sell in the grocery store most of the year. <br />We've had hazy skies for the last week or so due to smoke from the western fires. And while the west and mid-west gets the heat dome, we're going to barely break 70 for about 5 days.<br />I'm still resting the pulled arm muscle, so not much is happening here but blog and IG scrolling and book reading. I'm really bummed to not be able to take advantage of the cooler temps to weed before the moisture from the recent deluge disappears.<br />Pat<br /><br /> MissPathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06807348837446241284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-17623080814999490642021-07-28T07:10:01.368-07:002021-07-28T07:10:01.368-07:00Gardening does so much for your brain.

I've always been patient, but gardening really helps you with that. ~ Marc GasolBarbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05835208971743967582noreply@blogger.com
