I’m enamored of this feta cheese. And everyone is enamored of watermelon. Mint grows like a weed in my garden; I use it as a ground cover. So here’s the salad:



I feel kind of silly posting the recipe. It’s pretty obvious:


watermelon, cut into bite-sized chunks


crumbled feta cheese, enough to sprinkle

“She knew with painful certainty that the opposite of love was not hate, but indifference.”
Susan Wiggs, Summer by the Sea

“When you're with the person you love, you're home.”
Susan Wiggs, The Winter Lodge

“The time for falling in love was when you were emotionally available and free of cares, when it didn’t matter what time you came home or how late you were getting up the next day. When you had hours and hours to spend gazing into each other’s eyes and even longer hours making love, uninterrupted. If you wait for the perfect time to fall in love…it’ll never happen.”
Susan Wiggs, Just Breathe
