Yay for Watermelon

Here is a funny one for you today:

.



I read this great article on the benefits of watermelon the other day.  I had stopped eating it when I heard how much sugar it has, but it is obvious the nutritious benefits outweigh the sugar problem.  Apparently it helps with blood pressure, acid reflux, Alzheimer's and many other health issues.  It has Vitamin A, C, potassium and 2 cups are only 80 calories, with no fat.  I am definitely going back to eating this delicious fruit, it was a favourite to begin with.

Love a good watermelon. I enjoy the carving and cutting them into blocks, as well.

I am always so glad when the watermelons are in season, delicious and I love the one about instagram!!!

Now I've got them mixes up too :))
So here is that I don't get the one
with Jester :))
And I do love watermelons, they
are so refreshing on hot days.
And since I don't eat much at all
when it's hot, then at least I get
some calories into my belly :))

Have a beautiful day Christine!

It normally would say 'it was a nice gesture' but they use 'jester' as a joke because clowns are jesters or entertainers but it sounds like the word 'gesture'.

Now it makes sense to me,
thank you Christine! :))

Love the jokes :-) As for the watermelon, that amazes me as I thought it only contained water! ;)
