The summer we have tenderly cared for our watermelon hill and watched it grow and produce over 25 watermelons. This weekend we ate the biggest of our watermelons - and shared it with neighbors. Jeremy was very proud of the watermelon - it was about 30 inches in circumference and a little over 2 feet long and it had to weigh more than Lucy (maybe even Samuel!

The Big One
Here is the story of "the big one"...
The summer we have tenderly cared for our watermelon hill and watched it grow and produce over 25 watermelons. This weekend we ate the biggest of our watermelons - and shared it with neighbors. Jeremy was very proud of the watermelon - it was about 30 inches in circumference and a little over 2 feet long and it had to weigh more than Lucy (maybe even Samuel!
One little redhead especially liked helping in the garden! Samuel liked helping Daddy sell some of the watermelons this weekend to save for a compost bin (and .50 cents for Samuel's piggy bank)

We shared our watermelon with our neighbors down the street and then gave an 1/8th to some new neighbors and 1/8th to Ms. Emma across the street.
Here are the Lucy's enjoying the ripe juicy summer goodness
Pure JOY!

The leftovers from 1/4 of the watermelon.
