my little melon
I spotted this from the master bath balcony the other morning. we raced down to collect our prize.
the deer had eaten the vine and likely stunted it's growth. still, a watermelon from our yard! we didn't even know it was out there. didn't have much taste and lots of seeds.
temps had come down substantially and made for a comfortable evening at shady grove for unplugged at the grove, their free summer concert series
I have grown tired of the nintendo addiction. what was once an item of convenience is now a substitute for all things in the real world. time to apply limits.
fastball played a nice set but volumes were low. the band did make it clear how they felt about the city of austin's noise ordinance. a real dampener to the "live music capital of the world".
climbs, he does.
pic above is the current state of our zoysia, below was how it looked fresh off the pallet. we found that the zoysia does not do well under the texas sun. it only seems to stay green along the edges, and around rocks or in the shade.
we decided to make a series of pavers that loosely mimic the shape of our kitchen island. my goal is to make two per day (made two forms).
a quick afternoon kayak trip around red bud island, just down the street from AMH.
this was his first RBI trip. I think he enjoyed it.
we kayak from the island to a shady spot on the other side. there is usually a bit of a party going happening at the southern tip of the island. lots of beer drinkin', smokin', music, bikinis etc.
we observed these girls practicing their cliff diving.
I read that red bud island may be joined with the hike and bike trail at some point in the future.
