"I love you, a bushel and a peck!"

I love you, a bushel and a peck! 

A bushel and a peck, and a hug around the neck! 

A hug around the neck, and a barrel and a heap 

A barrel and a heap, and I'm talkin' in my sleep. 

About you. 

About you! 

About you! 

My heart is leapin'! 

I'm having trouble sleepin'! 

'Cause I love you, a bushel and a peck 

You bet your pretty neck I do! 

Doodle, oodle, oodle. 

Doodle, oodle, oodle. 

Doodle oodle oodle oo. 

I love you, a bushel and a peck 

A bushel and a peck, go and beats me all to heck! 

Beats me all to heck how I'll ever tend the farm 

Ever tend the farm when I want to keep my 

Arms - about you - 

About you! 

About you! 

The cows and chickens 

are goin' to the dickens! 

'Cause I love you a bushel and a peck 

You bet your pretty neck I do - 

Doodle oodle oodle 

Doodle oodle oodle 

Doodle oodle oodle, oo! 

I, myself, do not care for turnips. But Mr. Big Food loves them!

Lyrics from the musical, Guys and Dolls.

I Have an Idea!: A. Leland's Melon Patch

This is one of the things that went on this weekend. 

Earlier, I had said:

Here's the situation. We have the space. There's time. What I need is for A. Leland to offer to take over the squash/melon/bean/corn garden that he just tilled up. And I wonder if Miss M would pay special attention to the herb and lettuce gardens? Not asking you to do anything, just let me know.

And then A. Leland found some petrified wood. 

They had to use a vehicle to move it.

And the design of A. Leland's bean-melon-squahs-corn garden just took off from there.
