Sweetest watermelon ever! We've found a farm run by a couple of brothers. Their sign says, "Open at 10-ish. Maybe." Cars slow down as they drive past to see if the farmers are open, and Mark has been in line with 9-10 cars all waiting to get their melons. The best around!

I am not sure which ones I like the best for my Sunkissed Summer Gallery but the one with ice cream is for sure going in the gallery. It reminds me of waiting all week at my daughters to go to the Great Falls, VA Creamery for ice cream. I was not disappointed with the homemade scoop that spoke strongly of sea salt and caramel. Yum!

I just bought our Western Slope peaches to make a pie, and the blueberries are in bigger cartons, same price! Love this time of year! Your "beach combing" connected because I actually used the "patience" line with Ingrid. We were looking for the elusive olive shells, and did find two, but it did take patience.
