We Are Alive! Watermelons in February?

My wife and I visited the grocery store today to get some discounted cheese to make a special mac-and-cheese meal for tomorrow.

While we were there, we saw something surprising. It's early February and we saw a bunch of whole watermelons for sale. What?

These must be from down south, like way down south. Growing where the sun is still shining bright!

Are watermelons growing where you are?

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books.

I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

When my wife was pregnant to our son, she craved watermelons, in February. We live in Munich, which is almost on the same latitude as Vancouver. I've been searching a load of supermarkets, till I found 2 small watermelons. But, as the saying is, happy wife, happy life.

Hello, here in Venezuela, you can find watermelons at any time of the year. My wife makes juice and then, with that juice and unflavored gelatin, she makes treats called gummy candies. Instead of using water, she uses only watermelon, as it has a high water content. It's very easy to make.

I have one growing, it is almost ripe, and I also have a pineapple that will be ripe in a few weeks. It has been a crazy winter.

Wow, great water melons have arrived. We get them in the summer and they are very delicious. Water melons fill up the water deficit and are very tasty to eat.

0.00001113 BEE

Yes, they're a great source of water, tasty too! !BBH

Oh wow, we won't see watermelons until like . . . April in the stores and even then, the first batch of watermelons that comes to the store is usually really bad, so I usually wait until June-July to get on with the Watermelon frenzy :D

Around here June-July is about the right time for local watermelons. !BBH

In our region, the temperature goes up to 45 to 48 centigrade in the month of June. Eating watermelon in hot weather cools our stomach and body. Watermelon is a great blessing for us in summer.

What a blessing! !BBH

Yes, I love watermelons specially during the summer. You can eat it as is or make a watermelon shake.

Watermelon is associated with hot days and ice tea. Winter is more like hot chocolate and hot soup. !BBH

It's odd for us to eat watermellon in the winter-time when it's so cold outside. !BBH

how much the watermelon cost ?, it looks good quality

It was $6.00 USD. Not cheap, but not unaffordable. Our family will enjoy it. !BBH
