Last weekend, at twilight, my son and I went out to cut some wild flowers that found our way into our landscape. He knows how much I love having fresh flowers in the house and he was happy to cut them with Papa's red pruners. As we busied ourselves, rushing to finish before nightfall, my daughter appeared, weighted down with a watermelon quite too big for her to handle. Somehow, she made it all the way from the watermelon patch to our front porch, having selected just the right the melon. Her face was sheer pride. We all celebrated! The first watermelon of the season! City Farm brings us many little celebrations. Many "first fruits. " We are blessed to share them with our City Farm Members and everyone who visits us each Saturday at the Hub City Farmer's Market. Now, time for a sweet watermelon treat!
