As a child, my grandfather grew his own watermelon. He would pick them
off the vine, take them into the house, and put them in the
refrigerator. I do not grow my own watermelon for two reasons. First, I
live in an apartment so I do not have anyplace to grow the watermelon.
Second, unlike my grandmother and grandfather, I do not have a green
thumb. My grandparents could grow anything, I am lucky if I can grow a
cactus without killing it. All right, maybe that is too strong a word.
The point is that no matter how hard I try plants do not grow for me.
Someone can give me a plant and it dies. I can water it, according to
the directions, it still dies. I can put it in a place where it gets the
proper amount of sun and one morning I will go to the plant and find it
dead. I cannot grow plants. I do not have a green thumb. Which is why I
purchase all my fresh vegetables and fruit.
Anyway, to get back to the watermelon. I have a watermelon to put in the
refrigerator. I do not have room in the refrigerator. Just so you know,
I was given the watermelon today. This means that I have to clean out
the refrigerator and I am not looking forward to it. I started cleaning
it out this afternoon.
I had three or four pieces of cooked chicken, so I put that in the stew
pot with some water. After the chicken was heated then I took the
chicken out and put some vegetables in the the water. Those are cooking
now. When that gets done, I will either eat vegetable stew or take the
chicken off the bone and have chicken stew. Anyway, with the vegetables
and chicken out of the refrigerator I think I have room in the bottom
shelf for the watermelon. That will be either my supper tonight (if I am
hunger) or my lunch tomorrow.
