It's terribly hot here. It's been in the upper 90's most days and we need rain.
This sounds wonderful. It is the same here. In the 90's all week, and No rain. It is awful. The plants and grasses are so brown. I love watermelon....will have to try this.
ReplyDeleteI have to get more watermelon- this was SO good! It was over 100 yesterday and today it's close to 100. Nice refreshing drink. I think Monica would like this one also.
