Melons, Melons, Melons seems the only remedy to the Texas heat. We have juiced them, sliced them, made them into salad, had them for breakfast and continue to crave them. This is the time to get in that last taste of summer juiciness, rejoice in the quenching sensation hoping to tame this unbearable humidity.
