Watermelon Hits the Spot

The Poultry Palace hens had their first taste of watermelon this week.

It didn't take them long to figure out an ice cold watermelon 

hits the spot on a hot summer day.

I could tell Princess wanted the whole thing for herself.

But she let Queenie have some

and Duchess, too.

Queenie received a nip from Princess for daring to eat alone.

Together the three of them ate, and ate, and ate, 

until all that was left

was a watermelon smile on the lawn.
