Stolen watermelons


Watermelon time of the year.Red meat yellow meat watermelons,sweet and delicious.The 4th of July is coming up and I'm not sure of this but it would be my guess that more watermelon is ate on that day than any other.I only know the names of two types of watermelons,Stone Mountain and Moon and Stars.Yellow meat watermelon are always a treat because we never had them often.As a little boy I remember Grandpa Haynes walking his field in disgust at the small size of his watermelons he grew that year.Daddy always said a stolen watermelon chilled in a cold creek was the best on a hard day of farming on a hot blistering Alabama day.Right now I think a stolen or store bought watermelon would hit the spot.
