It's summer so it must be time for WATERMELON! Did you know that watermelon is a vegetable? It is a cousin to cucumbers, squash and pumpkins. Did you know that the largest known watermelon was grown in Tennessee and weighed 262 pounds? At the National Watermelon Promotion Board's website, you can find all things watermelon, from recipes to how to select a watermelon, a Kids' Activities section, and even lesson plans for educators. Be sure to check out the photos of carved watermelons. It's amazing what you can do with a sharp knife, a watermelon and a little time on your hands.
Bembo's Zoo This is a good one to share with younger children or grandchild. Or maybe just for your inner play-baby. The designer has managed to create a menagerie of animals using only letters and punctuation marks. Very creative and fun.
And for those of us who just need to get away, if only in our minds, consider a free mini-vacation at Fabulous Nature. Breathtaking photos. Stay as long as you like.
That's it for now. Hope you enjoy these websites.

You are the "queen" of searching and finding little gems of fun-ness. Will pursue these sites after the big day. Joanie
Hey there friend! I didn't know you were out there!! Glad I found you!
Love the watermelon animals! It reminds me of the children's book that does the same, but with all different fruits and veggies.
I'm sure you know the one I mean. :)
Ellen, hadn't thought of that, but you're right. His name is Saxton Freymann and I have some of his books in my library.
Hi, Debbie! Glad you're back!
Rhonda,
Love the watermelon animals! In my spare time, I think I'll make one this summer ;)
Jennifer,
I think you should. I mean, what is a mother of four to do with all her spare time? :0
Yes, well. If the girls would have seen the pictures, they would have immediately been asking when we were going to make our watermelon sculpture. It is good that they don't give up on me when I hardly ever do the fun stuff they ask me to.
