Sugar Baby!

THIS:

is the crowning glory of my garden. I have waited and watched this little baby growing all summer long. Hoping and praying that it would not kick the bucket. And being the amazing gardener that I am, up until a few weeks ago, I thought it was a cantaloupe! One day, the dark green skin finally clued me in as to what it really was. Duh.

All of my other cantaloupes and sugar babies died except for this wee little melon. And tonight, we picked it, cut it, and ate it all up!

Poor little guy. He didn't know what hit him.
He didn't stand a chance with us five little piggies......
