Celebrate a Big Fruit Next Week in the Hudson Valley

I am having the best summer because I have rediscovered a fruit I loved as a kid and had forgotten to eat as an adult. Nothing says summer fun more than a sweet, juicy watermelon.

I have always been a fan of the flavor and the fruit. I am such a fan that back in the late 1980s when everyone was decorating their kitchens with black and white cows, I was doing my kitchen in all things watermelon.

National Watermelon Day is happening next Wednesday.

If you have not had a chance to grab a farm-fresh watermelon yet, let this article dedicated to the watery giant be your inspiration. And if you need further encouragement, then you should know that National Watermelon Day is coming up next week, Wednesday, August 3rd.

Watermelon is so popular it even has its own website watermelon.org. Watermelon makes the perfect snack on a hot day. It is awesome in a refreshing summer fruit salad and can provide the bowl to put it all in for serving.
