Nat’l Watermelon Day

There’s nothing like beating the heat with one of summertime’s most refreshing fruit — watermelon. On August 3, Americans celebrate this ancient berry in a feast of juicy deliciousness, called National Watermelon Day.

Hattingdon has the perfect hat . . . . naturally. Here it is. She looks ever so cute.

Melonie.

People have been digging into the tasty, juicy fruit of watermelon for millennia. It all started in Ancient Egypt. It is said that the cultivation of watermelon began in the Nile Valley as early as the second millennium B.C. Watermelon seeds were found in King Tut’s tomb.

According to “The Dictionary of American Food and Drink”, by John Mariani, the word ‘watermelon’ first appeared in the English dictionary in 1615.

Love ya. See you again soon.
