"Fresh Fruit with Watermelon"
Pastel Size 19.5 x 25.5h" MB#1065

 "When we were young we would eat watermelons outside and spit the seeds at each other. It was a fun fruit. Now too often we see seedless watermelons, convenient for proper people but not too much fun. When I get a juicy red melon full of seeds it brings back memories of summer laughter in the garden with my friends, spitting seeds."
