Look, look!
Someone (another Fairy gardener?)
left our Fairy some little watermelons on her front steps!
~

Wee little Watermelons!
(Makes you want to say "Wee Wittle Watermelons", doesn't it?)
~
~
~
Actually, they are Cucamelons...
Also called MOUSE MELONS, which is even cuter than "Fairy" ones, I think!
Aren't they sweet?
You can read more about them here...I ordered the seeds from this company, Terroir Seeds ~
after seeing them on Pinterest.
~
~
I probably should have fed them a little Miracle Grow...
But I have been so BAD this year...things in the garden have been pretty much on their own.
They did okay, though.
They are green inside, and taste like cucumbers...
and a little like watermelon (the part near the rind).
Perfect Fairy Watermelons!

We've been picking lots of green beans...
~
~
I used to dislike this chore very much, pinching the ends off
and snapping the beans!
I kind of enjoy it now, though ~ and I really like how fresh green beans taste...
Grandma Collier and Grandma Launius used to can oodles and oodles of them,
and during the same time we would have them at meals...
(With tiny little "new" potatoes and seasoned with ham)
Never got tired of them, though!
~

The zinnias are still going strong in the garden...
(They would produce even more flowers if I would go out and cut some bouquets!)
We have had so much rain for the past week...
The flowers and vegetables are loving it!
~

Okay, a few kitty pictures...;)
These aren't great (indoor, night photos) ~
But Cyrus and Tallulah were so cute, napping together.
Leo was off somewhere else, probably hanging out with one of the boys.
He much prefers them to me...I do the baths and the grooming...
Not popular things with the boy cats.
Of course, I also feed and scoop, but I guess they think that's beside the point!
~

Tallulah..."Wittle Wuwah", I call her.
She loves me and hangs out with me, even though I AM the bather...
~
~
Lastly, a few little ACEOs!
~
~
~
~
~
I've been having such fun with these! That Tallulah ~
She gives art lessons, piano lessons, bakes...;)
Getting ready to list the last one on eBay tonight!
That's all for now...back to painting.
Have a good evening, all!
Love,
