A few monkeys that I found in my trees today.



The watermelon - still growing well and now there are several more coming.

And lastly a word about our terrific Mothers for Mother's Day. Daniel and I are fortunate to have his mother (pictured above--although I can't remember her ever sitting down and relaxing!) and mine (pictured below) close by. We have been blessed with wonderful mothers who are loving, helpful, and supportive. When you consider most families these days are falling apart at the seams, ours is truly something to be thankful for.
With Mother's Day, remembering my own childhood, I can't help but wonder what memories of me my children will take with them when they leave. Robert is now ten, and half way to being an adult. Of all the things we purpose to instill, I wonder which ones will stick as he leaves home one day. What will he say was important to Mom? Would it be clean rooms, school work done well, gardening, or knowing God??

That's a good thought about what will our kids remember. I think about that often. I think I get caught up in the unimportant stuff to often.
I love your watermelon. I wish I was cool enough to have a garden like you do. Unfortunately, I'm afraid that our dogs would have a hay day in it. I also fear that the sand base of our backyard wouldn't be great for raising vegetables. It's cool though that you can.
