Watermelons!

What a surprise! We found watermelons at the Meridian Township Farmers' Market on Saturday. Cinzori Farms had five beautiful watermelons. They were only $3.50 each (a bargain for large, organic watermelons) so we bought three of them. We took one to a barbeque this afternoon and we served half of the other one at the brunch we hosted for seven friends this morning. Caroline loves watermelon, especially when it served at room temperature. I love apples but I must admit that since locally grown apples are available until early spring, I will almost always choose other late summer/early fall fruits over apples. White grape juice and bananas are the fruit servings on the menu tomorrow. But Caroline won't be eating organic versions of these foods. Instead, she will be hanging on to the late summer/early fall Michigan harvest with watermelon and red raspberries.
