Watermelon July.


When I was little, summer wasn't official until we made watermelon lanterns. Well, I announce this summer is now... official!
Last night my boy helped me carve a watermelon lantern (is this our new summer tradition? I think so!). We lit a candle inside, put it in the garden and drank watermelon smoothies in the soft pink light. Yes, we are nerdy like this. But kind of romantic, too.

  1. I LOVE this idea!! I've never heard of these...
    Totally doing it.

    P.S- the fact that you put it in the garden and drank watermelon smoothies, is the cutest thing ever.

  2. Watermelon lantern?! That is the best idea ever! Plus the insides are delicious and not disgusting/smelly like a pumpkin! Hooray for new traditions and Happy Summer! <3
