Learning Curve

July in Virginia...hot...humid and a perfect day for a nice cold slice of watermelon.

After church we stopped by the local Wal-Mart and Lucy thumped a few watermelons searching for just the right one. There it was....round....firm and melodious!

We made our way home, got out our carving knife...all the while savoring a juicy slice of summer. I cut the melon in half and.....................It Was YELLOW!













At first we thought we picked a rotten melon. We sniffed it and then took the plunge and bit into it....Delicious!

The moral of the story is.....you can't judge a watermelon by its color!

It just goes to show there is something new to learn every day.....for instance

A watermelon is a .....vegetable!
Russians make beer out of watermelon.
The world record for watermelon seed-spitting is 66 feet, eleven inches and the world's largest watermelon was grown right here in America....in Bixby, Oklahoma. It weighed in at 255 pounds!
