We stayed around the house working in the garden and Sue doing her exercises. The garden is beginning to look a little bare! Paul spent 45 minutes pollinating blossoms on the watermelons and cantaloupes. We had so many blossoms but they were not turning into fruit. The culprit seems to be a lack of bees! The internet suggested moving the pollen form the male blossoms to the female blossoms using a tiny art brush or physically rub the female blossoms with the male blossoms! Paul had no tiny art brushes so…. He said “I feel like a pervert!” Now we have to wait and see what happens!
Female watermelon blossoms… See the tiny watermelon that will form if she get pollinated
The male blossom resides on a thin stem (no baby watermelon)
Rub-a-dub-dub
We cleaned up and headed to Malarkey’s for the “Storytelling Finals” of which Greg was one of the finalists! Good fun with friends!
Charlotte came to see the performance!
The sun is going down with an outstanding sunset

After the contest we sat with the organizer and her daughter for a while
We headed for home and crashed (after watching a movie).
