I've been looking at them, but I don't go by smell with watermelons. They do smell wonderful!
You are encouraging me to try one! I might.

I've read things about how to pick a good watermelon, but sometimes I wonder if that's all wives tale sort of stuff. Watermelons always feel like gambling.  :lol1:
 I've already been buying honeydews for a few months. At first I was worried it was too early but they've all been good. Fortunately Aldi had watermelons for five something, but I noticed the ones at walmart were almost eight dollars. The boy eats most of the fruit in the house and he loves melon season. I like it because melons are generally a lot of fruit for a thrifty price. They're definitely more this year but that's true of everything.  :dunno:

Ran to work a bit late... but surprisingly Dad wasn't pissed off like he usually was.

I think you've already proven that winter is relative.

Finally got to clean and examine some rock specimens I picked up a couple of days ago.  I was walking up a side road near our house, by a ledge that sits in front of somebodies house.  I had been examining it from the street now for some time and something about it intrigued me.  Turns out to be a mass of pegmatite, which is a form of granite that can have some crystals of various types.  So I step closer and notice this bunch of black rocks at its base.  Wondering if it was coal or charcoal dumped there.  I picked up the larger intact pieces and it turns out to be black tourmaline.  Not gem quality, but, still a pretty good find for me so close to home.  Being a rock hound has its advantages and pleasures. 8)
