I Picture myself just finishing cutting my grass on a hot day , then going to the refrigerator getting ice cold pieces of cut up watermelon with tiny pieces of fresh peppermint from the garden to refresh my whole being letting the juices run down my chin . Ummm nothing like it. And knowing I am giving my body all that’s good for me ❤️
Simply perfect. While I don’t need any recipe or flavor addition to my perfectly pristine watermelon, I won’t say no to some of these simple ideas that don’t take many steps or time. Simply served up sweet summertime delight.
The watermelon sounds wonderful and I’m certainly going to do them but I want to ask everyone have you ever tried freezing grapes you leave them on the stem put them in the freezer and let them freeze solid and oh my goodness they are wonderful just like eating little popsicles you will love them this summer so be sure and find you some good sweet grapes at the store take them home wash them let them dry and freeze them they are amazing the kids will love them
