FYI...
a couple of people commented that I did not share what the Chinese prediction calendar predicts for baby's gender. That's because I want to know my friends' guesses, without influence. I didn't share the results of the pendant swinging test or drano test either... but then again, I haven't taken those yet. I don't think we even have drano in the house.
The poll closes tomorrow at 3:15! I'll post the ultrasound results after I call the grandparents and maybe a few other people. ;) Please don't take it personally if you have to read it on here first...

New poll: online wish lists
Be honest, what do you think about wish lists? I have one for Bear and one for me. Do I expect people to buy off them? Not really, they are really more of a central location for ideas, so I don't have to repeat myself over and over and over. And then there's the "I saw something I thought was neat but forgot what it was" syndrome. (Don't tell me I'm to young for that, cause it's struck more than once.) And whether or not anyone buys a gift from it at all is irrelevant. Although amazon would disagree.
Anyway, this discussion was brought up on a message board, and I thought I'd see what you, my blogging buddies, think about the debate.

poll results
Thanks to those of you who participated. 11 of you have greater faith than I, and I hope you are right! Yes, I voted "no". I really have no idea how long it takes to grow cantaloupe from seed, so we'll see. We returned home from a weekend away to find a few of the leaves nibbled off (to the stem), but there also appear to be a couple of blossoms forming already. If this suffocating hot weather keeps up, then we will probably taste home-grown cantaloupe.
Final results:
11- YES, there will be edible fruit before the first freeze
4- NO, there won't. (There might be fruit, but it probably won't be ripe.)
Bear awoke from her afternoon nap asking for her cousins. And their pool. Apparently she forgot it took 6 hours to get there and 6 hours to come home.

New poll!
I was shocked a couple of weeks ago to learn that hubby's cousin had never seen the ocean. She and her new husband were going to drive to the Atlantic before heading home to WI after her brother's wedding.
Growing up, I didn't realize how fortunate I was to go with my family to visit relatives on Cape Cod for SEVERAL consecutive years. We camped at Nickerson State Park the first few times we went, then two of my Dad's brothers bought/built homes on the cape, so we didn't have to go to the bathroom in the woods (or the campground's facilities) anymore.
During our visits, we walked the trails through the salt marshes, swam in the lakes in the park, swam in the bay (& walk out onto the sand bars at low tide), went on whale watches, walked to the Brewster Store and back, spent time with our cousins (who we barely saw otherwise), got sand in our shoes, rode our bikes on the rail trail, saw real cranberry bogs, picked and sucked honeysuckle along the path to the beach, and made homemade chowder. Okay, our parents made the chowder from the clams and crabs that the dads and boys caught while the tide was low. You haven't lived until you've had homemade seafood chowder. Oh, yeah, my little sister ate sea kelp. I wish I had a copy of that photo, it was priceless. We learned what barnacles were and to be extra careful climbing on the rocks, had hermit crabs tickle our palms, and collected shells and wave-tossed glass and bricks.
This year will be our second trip with hubby's side of the family to Gulf Shores. I can't wait to watch Baby Bear try to keep up with her cousins. I want to capture (or should I say I want our family photographers to capture) her first reaction to sand in her fingers and the waves lapping over her feet. I want her to see dolphins, great blue herons, and pick up sea shells. I don't want her to get sunburned, and I hope her swimsuit still fits. It was snug the last time she tried it on. Thankfully we do have one that I know fits, but sheesh... how fast can a child grow?
Anyway, maybe sometime my side of the family can journey back to the Cape with the little additions in tow.

It's the last day to take my gardening poll!!!! Please do it if you have not already!
Why is it that my toddler wants to brush her hair with the hand-broom? Okay, I know why. She thinks it's a soft hairbrush. But ewwwww.... I have repeatedly shown her its proper use. She then reaches toward the pile of junk the broom has acquired and tries to eat the "leftover" blueberries an cherry tomatoes.
