This is the sum total of my watermelon crop. Rissy and I watched the vine and its only fruit for weeks for signs of growth and as the summer waned, we gave up hope. At the first frost, however, she insisted on picking the miniscule melon and cutting it open to see what it held. We were quite surprised to find a juicy red interior containing black seeds, a typical but compact watermelon, so I guess the joke was on us. The average-sized apple in the picture below was included for scale.In a world that talks too much, writing is a way to capture thoughts and shine a light on the enterprise of life - at home, in the kitchen, out in the garden and almost always through a camera lens.
