Watermelon & Kool-Aid

Well it is officially Summertime in Clarksville, TN! It is so hot you could fry an egg on the asphault, boy am I thankful for my inside job. The temperature hit 99 degrees yesterday, but felt like 109 outside! Whew.... made me wonder if I was in Tennessee or the Sahara desert! Anyway....to beat this summer heat I have been induldging in my summertime favorites, watermelon and Kool-Aid. Not together of course, although it is a thought! :) As much as I love both of them I only eat or drink them in the summer. I honestly have not used my measuring cups since the last time I made Kool-Aid.....12 months ago (Sorry Mom & Paula Deen) This got me to thinking about all of the things that I only enjoy during the summer months....lemonade, ice cream, pop tarts(weird, I know), cucumbers, coconut lime bodywash, my white purse, turquoise jewelry and my favorite water jug, etc.  It is a very random thought, but why should I only enjoy these things during one season, when they bring me so much happiness? There is no season fairy out there telling me that I am NOT allowed to drink lemonade in the winter, or even wear my turquoise jewelry with a snazzy turtleneck in the fall! So this blog goes out to you watermelon and Kool-Aid....may you always have a place in my heart and in my fridge ANYTIME of year!
