Video Killed The Radio Star

Remember that song from waaaaay back in the day? I think it came out right after MTV and VH1 debuted on television. It was a "one hit wonder" by the Buggles.

"Facebook has killed the blog" could be their next big hit, I think.

Ahhhhh...Facebook. I do love it. It brings the great big ol' world down to the size of my computer screen. I get to know the everyday details of my friends' lives...when babies are born, when kiddos lose teeth, when my son is "in a relationship," and then when he's not. I've reconnected with people I knew in high school and friends that have moved away. I've used the "ignore" button so as NOT to connect with a few people.

Facebook suits me. At least it suits my adult ADHD. It's quick. It's all on one page. It's easy to follow. But, my blog...my sweet blog. I was supposed to be "writing it all down" for the little Wrights and their little Wrights so they would know me and know about our life.

For example, how would they remember laughing all the way home from church last night because of the Wombat game we had just played in youth...at one point, Cutest Boy almost had to pull over because we were all laughing SO HARD!!! I thought Roman was going to pass out!!

So...I. must. blog. more.

I think I'll start where I left off in May. Remember my garden? It's just 2 posts back if you want to look. Planting and growing had just begun. The rows were neatly kept and all was well.

And then, it happened. Just like I said it would! The cucumbers and squash overtook everything.......the green beans got bushy........the tomatoes toppled their cages......and the watermelon, oh the watermelon - it even grew onto the fence. Aye yi yi. It got buggy and scary in there and I haven't been back. I took this picture from waaaaay up on the porch cuz I don't want to get too close!!
















I did venture in to pick this lovely watermelon the other day before I heard something in the green bean bush and high-tailed it out of there.















And this is what it looked like on the inside!! It was delicious and well worth the wait! The best thing is that there is another one this size in there right now and 2 other smaller ones. I can't wait!!

I do have a better plan for next year's garden. I'm only planting a few things...and nothing like green beans that make a bush for grasshoppers and snakes to hide in. No corn...it didn't work at all. Better, stronger cages for the tomatoes. And maybe a separate garden just for watermelons!!

Now I'm wondering...can I grown pumpkins this fall???

I just might try.
