"You planted a flag to rally Your people, an unfurled flag to look to for courage."

~ Psalm 60:4 MSG

I did a strawberry  theme a bit back when I had purchased these two gorgeous strawberry plants that Wal-mart  was selling . . . it has been some time  since I purchased those plants & to tell you the truth  . . . mmm, the plants ain't so beautiful anymore  . . .  well I tried but I really did not give it a full fledge effort  . . . they are still out there & have a few berries  . . .the past ones the plants presented got quickly nibbled  on by some critter that scampers about in the dark of the night  . . . not sure  what is munching them thou I suspect it could be a local skunk ( Hub saw a white one out there one nite ) . . . then again we also got racoons & opposums as well  . . . but the other day I noted a whole lotta slug  slime around the plants soooo it could be some slugs as well  . . .  anyhoot I have given up the thought of berries  for ourselves & have opted to let the critters enjoy  them as much as possible . . . . did you know that the strawberry is not a true berry at all? Yeah, blew my mind away when I read this tib-bit Fragaria - Wikipedia  . . . .

Right now, matching to the new blog theme, we are in the process of growing some watermelons  . . . love love LOVE  me watery-melons  . . . will they grow? mmmm, reckon we will have to wait & see  . . . speaking of seeing  . . . have you seen the square watermelon ? Wowzers on the true sticker shock for these cuties!!!!!!!!!! I will stick to the regular shape thank you!

The other day for Father's Day  we got Hub a Watermelon  shaped ice cream cake made by Friendly's called a Wattamelon Roll . . . we hadn't one of these since when our son turned  4 years old & yep that was quite some time back     fer sure . . . it was really neat  to see our youngest  go on about this was her newest favorite ice cream cake

Have you ever heard of a Doughnut Peach  ? I hadn't until we were in the grocery  store the other day strolling about the Produce Section . . . that is when my youngest saw them, Doughnut Peaches, which resemble a peach  that has been   run over  . . . they have this squished appearance . . . a cute  squished . . . well actually  maybe a more squashed appearance to them . . . so being adventurous we decided to give them a try & I gotta say . . . . love love LOVE  them!!!!

So we did a bit of a internet  search on them & found out they are known as Saturn Peach 
but also called Doughnut Peaches & a few other names . . .
