watermelonade & popsicles

Watermelon just reminds me of July...I remember watching fireworks when I was little with juice running down my chin and off my elbows! So we got a big one at the farmer's market on Saturday, and you can't get a big watermelon for two people without a few recipes in mind. The first is from the website They Draw and Cook...I made a few changes. The second is still freezing and I cannot wait to try it! They look so good! I tried a little bit of the puree and wow! Well here they are...

This picture is not mine...I was
too lazy too take one. Mine were
much redder & didn't have bubbles
