She noticed the vine growing outside the Oak Ridge Branch of the Morehouse Parish Library this summer but never really gave it much thought. Just the same, Carolyn Files watered what she felt was a watermelon vine throughout the drought of this summer.

Files said she and an employee of the village of Mer Rouge monitored the vine’s progress during the summer, never expecting it to produce fruit.

Here are some of the ninjas I found hiding in my pampas grass that was grown by a librarian:
What is pampas grass?
What is pampas grass? Good question.
Pampas grass looks like this:
Human interest story — guys that grow pampas grass meet all the hot women.

Why would a librarian kill a ninja? Librarians are supposed to be helpful and supportive, even to their most ninja-like patrons.
Librarian’s Efforts Bear Fruit
Really nice story this shows that even small care for nature gives fruits
