A Bovine Feast

Do you wanta hear a lame joke?




Ok, here goes:




What is red, sweet and rhymes with Helen?






MELON

The joke is pitiful

but

the Melon is wonderful!!



Uncle Jim blessed us with a field of free watermelons that a friend had told him about, so, we picked for the family and thought that the cows might like to enjoy the feast, too, so we hauled them a truck load.

"Loading Assembly Line"

Mr. Doolin,

King of the Vine

Learning to juggle with melons, Liv?

Joshua stopped by to show us his Newspaper Debut. He and his brother Sam had gotten a load of Melons from the market and set up their roadside stand. The Lakeland Ledger stopped and interviewed Josh.

Bovine Express

I think the cows love us, what do you think?
"Everybody has a sweet tooth, even us, and please excuse me for slobbering."

My mind is blank on this one.

(Well, actually its was blank on all the other ones, too!)

(Put your own caption)

Wide World of Watermelons

Time to head home.

Thanks for enduring to the end. I know it was tough :)
