♥ Summer and Watermelons ♥

Summer and watermelons………I’m not sure we’ve ever had a summer without watermelons. It’s just one of those things that go together.

 We grew watermelons in our garden this year, and my cousin also sent a few home with us from Alabama when we were there.

Both of my boys love watermelons.

We took one to Colt because he absolutely loves watermelons and always looks forward to the first one he’s able to enjoy each summer. I could tell by the grin on his face that he was glad to see us pull up with it.

And Luke loves them just as much!

Joy even made some watermelon pops. Luke thinks she’s pretty awesome! To make them, she just stuck a craft stick in the green part of the watermelon (by pushing hard) and put it in the freezer inside a freezer bag.

I eat watermelon, but it’s not my favorite thing. I blame that on my mama.  She said she craved them when she was expecting me. Maybe I got too many of them then. :)

Growing up, I remember it being a treat during the summer, after supper, Mama would put newspaper out on the table and haul the watermelon out of the refrigerator and cut it up. We’d salt it up real good and enjoy it for dessert. And there were always the seed spitting contests if we were enjoying our watermelon outside.

What about you? Do you like watermelons? Did you grow watermelons in your garden? Do you have memories of summers with watermelons?
