You know those weekends where you think, “Maybe this weekend will be a little calmer?”

Yeah. This was not one of those weekends.

For the past couple of weekends, we’ve been busy moving my in-laws in and helping them get settled. This weekend, we headed back down to their old place to grab a few more odds and ends they still needed.

Simple enough.

Until one of the dogs caught a rabbit.

And apparently decided the appropriate thing to do was bring it into the house.

Did I mention the rabbit was STILL ALIVE?! 🐇😳

So there we were, Uncle Bill and me, running around the house trying to catch a terrified rabbit while I’m questioning every decision that led me to this particular moment in my life.

Eventually, the rabbit was caught, the crisis was over, and we headed home.

By then, dinner was definitely going to be one of those throw-something-together-and-call-it-good situations. I had food cooking on the grill when something out of the corner of my eye caught my attention.

I walked over to the garden to take a closer look.

WHAT. IN. THE. WORLD. 🍉

There, hiding among the vines, was the biggest watermelon I think I have ever seen, and somehow I had completely missed it growing.

I started looking around and found ANOTHER ONE just as big.

So apparently, while I’ve been busy moving people, chasing rabbits through houses, working, cooking, and generally trying to keep life somewhat under control…

My garden has quietly been growing watermelons the size of small children. 😂🍉

And that pretty much sums up life around here.

One minute you’re chasing a live rabbit through the house.

The next, you’re standing in your garden wondering how on earth you failed to notice a 40-pound watermelon.

Never boring.
