cantaloupe & cucumbers

July is the best time around here to start raiding our local farmer's market.  There is really nothing better than a Rocky Ford cantaloupe & sweet corn for dinner...great with everything from fish sticks to filet mignon...or just all by themselves!!  This melon we bought today smelled great on the outside and looked beautiful on the inside...a summertime work of art!

Sophie & Julia also begged us to buy a cucumber...a weird request since they don't really like to eat cucumbers.  It all became clear once we got home & I stepped into a luxury, cucumber-laden, home spa extravaganza!

I, apparently, signed up for the deluxe cucumber, double massage, cat-scan, canine leg warming treatment.  It's a wonderful life.
