Beating the Heat... With a Watermelon Margarita!

Without any planning, this weekend's wrap-up post seems to be all about keeping cool.  

We started the weekend with the intent to keep working on our yard project, but the muggy weather had us like this instead...

Breaking out the hammock-stand that the husband got for Father's Day!  

Lucy decided to splash in some cool water...

Who needs a pool when you have a dog bowl? 

And then this happened...

Yes, I just stood by taking pictures. 

I decided to keep cool with a yummy cocktail (not surprising, right?) using some leftover watermelon.  Here is what I made-up using what we had on hand: 

Recipe for a Foolproof Fresh Watermelon Margarita (makes two):

3 oz tequila

1 oz triple sec

2 oz sour mix

2 slices watermelon cubed

Blend ingredients together.  Pour mix over crushed ice and serve in a margarita glass. 

 Cute garnish is optional.  Enjoy!
