What Color Goes With Melon? — Donna Hopkins

One last watermelon picture for this season. The Farmers Market was busy and too crowded for my liking. So I walked along behind the booths and stopped to take a picture of the watermelon. Cut fancy style, to show off its sweet and juicy interior and entice buyers. I wonder just how you cut a watermelon like this. I’m sure there is YouTube video that demonstrates the technique, but I do not need to know everything. At least not immediately.

Running errands, I had a little headache which usually means I’ve waited too long to eat. We stopped to grab coffee and a slice of banana bread. I always feel better when well-fed and more able to see the bright side of things. The turned around stop sign against the red swinging gate door caught my eye (near the Sonic drive-thru). A sign shape that speaks its meaning even without the words being visible. A lovely shade of red, just like the watermelon. A last hurrah for summer.
