Summer To Do List: watermelon

If there ever was a summer mascot, watermelon would be a good one.  Sticky, refreshing goodness that cools as it drips off the chin. 

I have fond memories of my mom throwing all of us kids outside in the evenings with our watermelon slices in hand.  My brothers and I would have seed-spitting contests to see who could spit the seed the farthest, over the dog, over the fence, over the pool... the game goes on and on.  Once after a great watermelon night of games, we came back from a 2 week vacation to see a huge rogue watermelon growing right next to the pool thanks to our competitive endeavors.  Best watermelon ever!
