It is late, but night shifts are boring. Riddles and rhymes I'm not sure are for me.
Nine melons, one scale. Three groups I need. Mathematics and rhyme may be too hard for me.
Three melons on one side, three on the other. Balancing the scale will leave one group or another.
So, then is left the same situation. Only now with one melon per side this rotation.
The scales tipped in this case will lead me to favor the heaviest melon, but how is its flavor?

Fast as a meteor I move 'cross the sky,
when you swing your scope or move your eye.
Intangible but common, and used every day,
you likely won't notice unless I'm off in some way.
I help to make art, yet science rules,
I'm in your water, I'm in your jewels.
Photographers really know me quite well,
they can make me soft or sharp as hell.
I'm called different things, but I'm just the same,
Can you guess what I am? Play the riddle game.
Regards, GF.
Additional clue:
I'm also a metaphor for a place you can go,
with plenty of people & action you know.
The center of town or the commons at school,
c'mon, take a guess, I know you're no fool.
Regards, GF.

I believe jratcliff won this game!
I had two answers both wrong in the same
Only thing I could come up was vision or sight
And I'm definitely sure those are not right
So mr jtracliff we await GF's approval
I'm hoping you're right cause you're nobody's fool
GF? What say you?

You've guessed it right, man that's outta sight! You got it on your first try.
You're no slouch my friend, now our ears we must lend, and you a riddle must ply.
Regards, GF.
I hope this riddle has not been used,
For the entire thread I've not perused.
But if you're ready I'll give a go.
Here is what I'd like to know:
I go in dry and come out wet,
The longer I'm in, the stronger I get.
What am I?

Correct you are my good man... Your turn to riddle us if you can...
I was too specific to be right,
but I won't put up a fight.
Mine are often too simple or obtuse,
but lets see if you can deduce
What it is that makes a homebrewer like tigger,
so put on that cap and go figure
but I won't put up a fight.

Rhyming, my forte is not
but I'll try to give it a shot
Hops are what Homebrewers use
and hops are what Tiggers do.

It's been fun reading this thread,
But it seems a few of you are locked in a shed.
At last it's a new day,
Now I leap from my bed to brew another IPA
Cheers to all [emoji482]

I visited a house during a hot summer's day and it was pretty cool
The architect was truly a genius and nobody's fool
In winter time the house stayed toasty and warm
Very cozy and dry even during a snow storm
The year of the build I'm not to sure of
But probably 2 to 4X older than all of us here gov
Another wonder of this house were the hidden banks
Not like he had Wells Fargo safes stashed under the planks (almost not)
As far as I can remember there was no electricity
Then again man my memory is not serendipity
Definitely not modern central air conditioning or heat
But truly my friend this house was real neat
There are probably a few things I forgot
And is this truly a riddle? Probably not
If you've been to this house you'll definitely know
How it was cooled in summer and warmed in the snow
Anybody knows the name of this house no rhyming answer needed
But you do know rhyming riddles and answers on this thread were plead'n
(Please don't let this history question; more than a riddle end this thread. Somebody out there might know the answers or not. Either way don't let this thread stop - we'll move on before that happens)

This house is alright, quite outta sight, and was designed by Mr. Frank Loyd Wright.
It's built over a creek & was named tongue in cheek, it's the coolest house you'll see all week.
On days when it's hotter, you can play like an otter in the house that's named "Falling Water."

GF that truly is a really neat house!!
My riddle, my question, my word games a louse (whatever that is; sounds Dr Sue-ish
No, the house I'm thinking of is not a fair riddle.
I tried to find it with Google today while playing my fiddle
Let me tell you all a little more about my dilemma
Maybe it would help me if I sat in a cinema
(No point to the last two lines except they might of rhymed)
Pretty sure but I could be wrong
The house comes from the state of the Illini strong
The builder's wife lived with an agonizing plight
She was sickly and dying like a plant suffers blight
It's late and my mind and body are tired
Had a few beers after work with some folks I admired
But I gotta go now time to stay up has sleep expired
So I'll see you all a little later
We'll talk more then, alligators

And to GF who is normally correct
Could very well be My question is to indirect
Cause the name of your builder seems familiar
But over a creek that house ain't nowhere similar
I thought about asking my brothers maybe childhood memories they had
It would be an easy answer for my dear late dad
So I'll keep researching. And my mind will keep burning for this long time memory in my mind is burning

My 1st guess was good, though it was quite wrong, I guess I'll have to change my song.
Some of the clues you've given are tough, I must use my thinking cap, sho-nuff.
Perhaps the age of this house is a clue, a place to keep things cool for you.
Before the icebox was a common thing, people built houses over their spring.
They kept things cool & often didn't freeze, the spring house is something at which you shouldn't sneeze.
My guess is a spring house, what say you, Sir Dan? Did I get it wrong, or am I truly "Da man?"
Regards, GF.

I apologize but I have to go out of rhyme line this time but will be back and it will be so sublime (what?!)
Oh GF, I almost wish I wouldn't have asked this question.
The house you describe is like the one I'm thinking about in regards to nature providing temperature control
Three distinct aspects of this house I remember
1) the house was cooled during summer by earth cooled air conditioning. Plenty on the internet about the concept but just remember he probably did the digging without any modern tunneling tools and I want to say this house is from the 19th century. I could very well be wrong about that
Ok hold on. I'm calling my brothers and sister
(Now truly an hour or so later; I didn't lose my draft just came back to it)
Oldest brother, the historian - no answer
Little sister (who I'm one of three brothers) - no answer
Little brother the Doc. He came up with the answer the house on the Rocks.
I love him, but thinking his memory is stinking bad. ( he was like 9-10 in 76)
Which does maybe give me a timeline for this history addiction fix

From his work shop down below
He could watch the fire hearth glow
By a kind of sight glass he succeeded
It showed him when fuel was needed
Convection was his very warm friend
He put ducts through the house end to end

Sorry not to be clear. It's that darn house. Maybe my brother was correct and its The House on the Rocks, in Wisconsin.
Everybody please feel free to start a new riddle. This one I'm afraid won't be answered unless first hand knowledge of the house and then the clues make sense.
Cheers!

Ps. I'll probably continue posting clues but won't during an active riddle. Man, I wish my father was still here, he'd know the answer.

The butcher at my shop stands four feet nine inches tall
wears size 13 sneakers which make his legs look small.
So given the above clue
it's all up to you
What does he weigh?
