The day has come. The day I wait for from early October till late April.
My first watermelon of the year.
I could (and have) eat a whole watermelon all by myself. All through the winter I see the tiny ones that look like a little green Nerf balls. Sometimes I smell them to see if there is any fragrance to remind me of the best days of eating. But I always wait. I want a big one. Seeds or no seeds, they are all such a treat.
Rereading this makes me wonder if I might be a little obsessed with this perfect fruit, but I'd rather consider it more of a passion. Who wouldn't be in awe of such a wonderful creation?
This watermelon was delicious and I can't wait for them to even get better as the season progresses.
So here is a salute to the Lycopene packed, juicy perfection we call watermelons.

I too could eat an entire watermelon.(give me a few days) They are even better with a little salt! YUMMMMMM
Watch out Kroger... you will be seeing a whole lot more of little miss Cassie. She has to have a back up one when the other melon is getting low, cuz ya can't run out completely!!
I actually think you should post how to pick a good one. I have never met anyone that picks as many good ones as you do.... I only bought one last year and it sucked.. maybe that is why I only bought one?!
you do sound obsessed with the watermelon. I do love a good one, but like Audrey, mine are few and far between. We need to learn more about the purchasing process!
Okay,Cass, where's the watermelon? After that workout today, I need a whole sweet, juicy, cold-from-the-fridge pile of watermelon!
Come on over! That one is gone, but the next one is even better. mmmmmm - got to go....ummmm, something I need to do........
I JUST BOUGHT TWO TODAY! AND GARY IS IN WASHINGTON DC!
First Kite flying and now watermelons... You're just trying to make us jealous!! It's working and that melon looks delicious!!
I am with you Cas - love that watermelon. We've had a few already from the farmer's market and they've been delicious. Chris doesn't eat much of it, so I only buy halves to prevent the rest from spoiling. And what a healthy treat! YUM
I followed your example and bought one today. I hope it is good. I may have to invite someone over to help eat mine. EB
Yay, bring on the watermelons! By this time of year I don't want to even see another apple, orange or banana. I had mission companion that only liked the outside part of the watermelon...like where it gets pink to even white. I, of course, prefer just the heart of the watermelon. I wish she was still around because that was the perfect watermelon sharing relationship...oh and you could buy a whole watermelon for about 50cents in Argentina. I miss that too. It still sounds good though...maybe I'll buy one today.
