The heat has taken its toll on grass and gardens as well as man and mammal. But their was one creature enjoying the fruits of the heat wave. Yesterday I picked a watermelon off the vine that was turning black on one end due to the parent plant not getting enough to drink and jetisoning its fruit in order to survive. The melon was about the size of a squirrel so how ther little animal managed to move that piece of fruit a 100 feet away before eating it is a wonder to me.
I'm just glad the fruit didn't go to waste.
