Today, I discovered 2 watermelons nestled among the pumpkins on my front porch.

The watermelon fairy was here.

And, what do you do when life gives you watermelons?

Make Watermelon Margaritas.

Luckily, the weather man isn't paying any attention to the fact that it is almost October. 80-degree days are perfect for sipping a cocktail on the patio.
