Big "Fruit's" Big Day

What is the most flavorful 'water' you can think of? Not sold in a bottle nor poured from a faucet then flavored. It can be served in a glass, cup or bowl. It does not necessarily quench your thirst but is a tasty way to stay hydrated on a hot summer day. After all, this 'water' is 92% water refreshingly soaked with nutrients! It is both a fruit and a vegetable but most people consider it a fruit. It is best recognized as pink-fleshed but often has yellow flesh with a sweeter honey flavor.

August 3 is...

National Watermelon Day

Makes you want a big bite, doesn't it?

Ice cold watermelon...perfect for a hot summer day, especially if picnicking! A picnic it should be on August 3rd. It could be as close as your own back yard, in a nearby park or alongside the shore of a crystal clear lake. Yum-m-m-m! Yum-m-m-m! Water never tastes so good. And, what about the seeds? No picnic is complete without a seed-spitting contest! Just be sure to have a hose close by. There is bound to be a water fight to rinse off all the watermelon juice after such indulgence.

Who doesn't like watermelon?
