summer fruits...

Last year it was the year of the cherry....

The first year of using the debit card and the freedom of not having to worry about how much i was spending.  I saw a fellow pick up 2 bags of cherries.. easily 4 pounds total. i was amazed.  In the past, i would pick out perfect cherries and usually less than a pound.  well.... if he could pick up 2 bags and not think twice why was i fretting over my purchase especially when cherries have a limited time of being available?!  Every week for most of the summer, i picked up a bag, sometimes 2. we all indulged.  They were fabulous.  By the end of cherry season i had had enough.  Obviously this year cherries have  not been the draw that they were last year, As i have purchased only one bag to date.

This year.. it is watermelon! chunks, wedges, half melons.... cold, sweet and juicy. i don't pick it up as frequently as i did the cherries of last year, but when i do we have watermelon for a day or 2. 
yum-o

Over the 4th weekend, hubby picked up 1/2 a melon. While it was sweet and juicy, it weighed 11 pounds (this was a 1/2 melon. and had at least  3" or more of rind and hardly any red fruit.  It was definitely the strangest watermelon i ever saw.  disappointing to pay that much and get so little.
what can i say..... we still ate it all!
