    iced melon
    a granddaughter’s grin
    overflows her face

    —MARIETTA MCGREGOR

    Being lucky living in Queensland, Australia, we had plenty of various types of melons roadside and big barn stores offering them very cheaply.

    I can imagine the fun for a child still seeing and reacting to the explosive texture of a melon! :-)
