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.
