Nooooooo!

We worked out in the yard all morning today, in preparation for staying inside the next few days because they predict a lot of rain is headed our way. When I got out of the shower, Guillermo was standing there with this absolutely perfect watermelon in his hands. I couldn't believe that he had gotten that watermelon out of our garden. I teased him that he ran to the store and bought one there while I was in the shower. I just had to get a picture of it, but we decided to have lunch first. He places the watermelon on the kitchen counter and we start getting stuff together for lunch. As I'm reaching for the refrigerator door, out of the corner of my eye, I see the watermelon rolling towards the edge of the counter. Too late. We couldn't stop it. The nice, beautiful, freshly-picked watermelon lands on the floor and splits open.  I can still see Guillermo kneeling on the floor at the broken watermelon going, "Nooooooo!!""  At first we were just devastated but eventually we ended up just laughing about it as we cleaned up.

So, anyway, here's a picture of that watermelon, along with a cantaloupe from the garden.

Guillermo says his watermelon may not be as big as the ones Roy, his brother, grows, but Roy doesn't have to grow them in clay soil either!!! We, of course, had watermelon after lunch, and I must say, that is the BEST watermelon I have ever eaten!!!
