I had a great week – albeit an expensive one. We had to have our entire septic drainfield lines replaced to the tune of . . . a very large loan!! So if you had an unexpected expense this week – I sympathize and cry with you!
Last week I showed you a picture of the largest watermelon I had ever seen. Weighing in at 51 pounds, it was a great visual representation of the amount of weight many of you have lost – or aspire to lose. I had some questions about the taste of such a gigantic melon. It was delicious, and it made enough to serve not only my family, but a gaggle of friends!
On a funny note – this is a picture of my littlest guy. For some reason he thought he should stack up his food and try and eat it without using his hands. I guess it was his own personal cupcake!!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
I still can’t get over the size of that watermelon. It was certainly huge. Make it a great day!

I missed the watermelon while I was gone.. holy cow!!!! And that little guy is so cute! Kids do the funniest things!
So sorry about the “unexpected expense”. UGH! But the land is beautiful!!!! I miss that here in crowded southern CA.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sorry to hear about your septic. I have a similar situation with my septic – we’re waiting to pull the trigger on getting the work done.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank you! Thank you for your words of comfort and inspiration lately. I can’t tell you how much it’s meant to me.
When my daughter does things similar to what your son is doing in the pictures I always wish i could read her mind. hehehaha!!

Your kid is super cute! Children are so inventive. I hear you on the unexpected expenses. That super sucks, sorry!! But at least you had that cute face and lots of watermelon to get you through!
Sorry about the septic–OUCH! That is a huge watermelon, but it looks OH so good!
What a cutiepie! Such a fun age.

Our only BIG purchase this week was new mattresses for the twins, but we didn’t have to take out a loan for it. My sympathies to you! I still love to see your surroundings..so pretty!
We visited our local farmers market today also and I bought some stuff, though are watermelon wasn’t quite as large!
I looked for one though…
Enjoy your holiday weekend!!

Aww, you son is so cute! Great smile – love that he’s enjoying his meal!
Boo on unexpected expenses! That’s the part of being a grown up that I don’t like!

Unexpected expenses are no fun…
The watermelon still amazes me… Glad it tasted good too!
I love the picture of your little one eating his food without his hands…
Have a wonderful weekend!

Digging up a leachfield is NO fun and very costly, I sympathize with you. We had a big expense this week in the form of my husband’s new laptop. He does programming as well as engineering on it so he can’t be without, but it was a bad time for such an expense
Your son is adorable!

Boy I had big expenses. We had that last year with a new furnace and water heater at the same time. Ugh.
Love that watermelon LOL!
oh no – unexpected expenses on “not fun things” make me cry! (I.e. I noticed my AC in my car is acting weird. I’m in total denial though….) hehe

Your little guy is such a cutie!
I’ll be going to the farmers market in the morning and am hoping they have watermelon
What a cutie pie!
I acutally saw a 151 pound watermelon at the fair this weekend! Love your kitchen, but most of all I love all your posts! I love that you have made it and continue to inspire people!
Sorry to hear about your sewer system! I’ve heard it is EXPENSIVE to repair! Eeek!
That reminds me of when our pipes froze last winter and then burst when they were thawing….who doesn’t love spending money on stuff like that??
You’re little guy is cute!

Is that your house in the background? Sooo nice! your son is VERY cute.

Sorry to hear about the expense..I hate loans. I love the house and property though!! Do you still live in FL? Whereabouts? I’ll always be a “flatlander” at heart, as my grandpa would say. He lives on the river just outside of Palatka. And your littlest guy is just adorable.

However, I cannot stop thinking about that watermelon! *lol* I even pulled up that entry and showed my mom! (We’re big watermelon fans!)

House expenses are no fun. Last winter we were hit by an ice storm and were without power for 13 days. It’s no fun. Plus we had the cables ripped out of the house and a car totalled. Isn’t fun having a house?

I love that picture of you with the giant watermelon!! That knife looks so little compared to it!
Ugh, I remember when we got our septic system done at my cottage. Disaster. On the bright side, it will hopefully be good for a while once it gets fixed.

Aw cute!
That’s a huge watermelon. A few months ago we had a 30+ pound watermelon that we turned into a gigantic bowl of sangria. Oh my.

LOL I guess it’s ‘nouvelle cuisine’ for the younger crowd.
Sorry for your misfortune. I grouched at having to have a section of sewer line replaced; I can’t imagine what I would have done with an entire septic field to repair. Yikes!

Ouch about the septic Diane.
I love your kitchen … it looks so nice and bright.
Watermelon is my favorite fruit next to cherries … it could be a toss up
I can’t get over the size of it either … it’s HUGE!
Your son is so cute … what goes on in their heads, eh?
Despite the financial set back this week, I’m glad to hear you had a great week!

I love the space you have in your yard. My kids would love digging in that dirt! We live in inner city Sydney and are space poor.
Planting and growing F&V is a lot of fun.
Loved the watermelon! We planted potatoes in winter that are ready now, and we have hundreds! We are giving them away to everyone we know.
