Have you seen the new yellow watermelons at the grocery store?
.
.
I had to try one… and to be honest I wasn’t that impressed. The texture was a little strange and I don’t think it was nearly as sweet as the red.
.

No wonder it always looks like dolphins are having fun. They’re high.

I’ve had this houseplant on a window shelf for years. I can’t remember the name, but it’s always been a small steady presence…until this month when it decided to grow long tentacles and turn into an alien. If I disappear from WordPress suddenly? You’ll know why.

Don’t think raccoons are accomplished acrobats? I beg to differ.

We’re dry in Maine. Unusually dry for this time of year. As in parts of our lawn are crunching and half the state is in drought conditions. Me? I’m still dragging 300 feet of hose out to the back 40 to keep our new trees alive. It seems we just can’t win when it comes to picking a time to plant.

Whaaat! Not my ice cream.
.

Whew. Only Floridian ice cream.
Sorry Florida..

River's world..... 
I’m surprised Dudley allows that plant to survive. Unless he’s working with it.

I know it’s a bit off-topic, but I’ve got to say the Book of Useless Information looks suspiciously thin…

I used to do a series of those, but news you can’t use replaced it.

Brilliant! I have a few books like that. I may well have to tear out (Read “rip off”) a page from your book and offer some of that wisdom and idiocy. Rivergirl: Making the blogosphere a more interesting place practically every day.

Stoner Dolphins! You do see them at the beach a lot. If the plant says “Feed me, Seymour” you might want to relocate.

It begs the question… do dolphins get the munchies afterwards as well?

I’m sure they do but their tastes are watered down somewhat. 🙂

I’ve seen red watermelons packaged with the new yellow….
Which I didn’t try, because if I want color variety, I’ll buy Jello.

Which probably tastes better.

Ha! I knew there was some reason that dolphins looked like they were always having a good time. They are high on pufferfish!
No, not only in Florida, back in 2015 Blue Bell, a Texas tradition (I don’t buy Blue Bell because I prefer Blue Bunny) creameries had an outbreak of listeria making people sick in four states and killing three people. This asshat ice cream maker refused to recall the ice cream even after it KNEW it was contaminated! Another reason I don’t buy it.
Your yard looks stunning, it’s green in spite of your drought. We are getting rain here and my lawn is still crunching underneath my feet…..🙄.

I heard about that Blue Bell thing. How awful. Parts of Maine are getting rain, but it’s usually to the west in the mountains..

Uggh, I am a little sensitive to the yellowness. I will vote for something orange with melons. Call me sensitive.

But really if it tastes good, should my sensitivity affect the overall wellness and holisticness of this…hmmm…something to ponder in my down time. Thanks for making me aware of the issues.

Dang, did you just say $15 for my sensitivity issues and the other is 1/3 the price…inflation…well, I will stick with what works for me. Thanks.

I think you should name your plant “Audrey 3”.

Tried a yellow watermelon a couple of times and was also not impressed. Sounds like dolphins have figured out the whole how-to-best-enjoy life thingy.

No offense, but that’s just karma, Florida.
