August 18th-19th, 2012: OMGZ IT'S A BABY!

I HAVE A BABY WATERMELON GROWING IN MY GARDEN!!! Don't believe me?! LOOK AT THIS!

Isn't it cuuuuuute?! I stumbled across this while showing Chad the tomato I have that has started turning red.  I'll show you that soon too.  I was just thrilled to find one of these growing.  I hadn't seen any sign other than the leaves vine'n their way around the corn and green beans that my watermelon plants were even alive.  So hopefully these little baby watermelon grows fast enough for me to eat it. : )  I feel like I should name this watermelon.  Ideas?  I'll get back to you with my own.

Here is the tomato I was talking about. It may be the only one turning red right now, but there has to be some others going soon because they are getting super large!

Not only did I find a baby watermelon this weekend, but I also found a few baby cucumbers!  This is the first and smallest one I found. I was not able to find very many.  Just one other cucumber, but I think there is hope for some more.

Here is the slightly bigger one I found.  I'm just hoping I actually get to eat some of these things before it's too late.  It is still August but that doesn't mean I can't be afraid.  Never know what to expect from Minnesota as far as the weather is concerned.  I'm going to keep a bigger eye on everything from now on!  I have been able to take out handfuls of green beans most mornings when I go out to water.  Now if only something else would get ripe so I can have something besides green beans. Ha!

Besides looking at vegetables this weekend I have begun setting up my sewing machine to get it ready to sew my dress.  There has just been one problem, I can't figure out how to thread a new bobbin.  Bobbins have always been the hardest part for me.  For some reason I always forget how to do them.  It doesn't help that I've only sewed one project on this machine so I haven't really gotten that much time with it.  It also doesn't help when I can't seem to find the manual either.  I have been trying to find something online but maybe someone out there in the internets knows something about Bernette 56 sewing machines.  If so please let me know.
