Spittin' in the Wind and we wound up with watermelons

Last year the kids were sitting on the front stoop enjoying, well to be honest trying to enjoy a yellow meat watermelon that I had bought.  There is something about the color that messes with people's minds.  It still tastes the same but they look like its going to go rotten in their mouths any minute.  Anyway they were extremely fastidious about spitting out the "demon" seeds in one of our front flower beds.  If we had tried to grow this it would never have happened as is evidenced enough from our less than productive garden.  So far we've harvested six or so, they taste fine if you close your eyes, and there are about 10 left, maybe more.  The most one has weighed so far has been 2l pounds.  So if you don't have a green thumb maybe a green loogie will do.

    -I laughed loudly enough that neighbors probably heard it.
    -I read your mailbox post and was affirmed in my belief that Angie is a saint because she did not even mention the drill bit debacle yesterday.
    -I clicked on your ads.

    Does this mean I get a share in the programming on the new TV? If so prepare to watch Food Network.

    p.s. the word verification it made me enter was "pee Nate." Poor Nate!
