Since daily temperature is above 30* C (86* F), watermelon is one of popular fruits in our areas.
The fact that watermelon plants need warm temperatures to grow well. This fruit season is different from state to state in the USA. Our state, Louisiana has watermelon season is about early June to late August.
There are plenty of watermelon’s varieties, about 1,200 varieties in the world, but only 200 varieties have economic values.
Our state has well known variety called as “Washington Parish watermelons.” The sweet and good quality watermelons. All watermelons which are grown in the Washington Parish have “red stickers” from local grower association.
During the season, we may easily found watermelons either in the farmer markets or sold in the junctions of streets with reasonable price.
Do you love watermelon during summer time?

We always buy several packs of fertilizer for our plants in the yards from Home Deport or Walmart stores every Spring and Summer.
As far as we remembered, the price was expensive last year, and we bought less than usual.
This year, like other goods, we feel that the fertilizer price starts to decrease since early January.
About last month, depend on brands and fertilizer types, we believe the price is decreasing between 30% to 60%.
We are quite happy, and we try to buy amount of fertilizers to equal amount like previous years.
Our favorite brand is “Miracle Grow” with potting mix type. It is said this fertilizer is sterilized, hence no pathogens (no fungus and no diseases).
Based on our experienced, this kind of fertilizer is good for all plants. Excellent for indoor or outdoor plants.
In case for farming, we saw from internet that price index for fertilizer is down more than 45% compared to last year. Price index was 293.73 last year, and only 155.97 for this month.
Do you grow plants? What type of fertilizer do you like?

We are using both liquid and bar soaps to wash our hands or other purposes with some reasons.
First, we believe that liquid and bar soaps have equally effective to combat virus, bacteria and any other “dangerous” germs.
Second, in term of prices or affordable:
In fact, the liquid soap is quite last longer to clean bowls and plates. The cleaning be easier and straightforward, no need to do multiple washes like using bar soaps.
Trending of using liquid soaps is increasing year by year. As reported by Statista (2022) that number of people use liquid soap much more than who use bar soaps.
The different number are following:
Which ones do you love: liquid or bar soaps?

The best local coffee is the main reason to come to Coffee Call. It is a kind of traditional coffee shops in Baton Rouge, where we may see kids, young and old sit and chat together.

Like other countries, there are many town less than 10,000 population in the USA. We just visit Denham Spring, a city with 9,300 people.
Compared to big cities in America, roads “so narrow” with two cars wide only. In the downtown, we observed crowd everywhere in the Saturday, may be the special day for communities.
Denham Spring, Louisiana state, was developed in 1898, nowadays, we find different kinds of shops, some of them are:
We have difficulty to find a parking lot. After a while, we decide to park in front of a building.
We and other “strangers” didn’t know what the building is. We just park our cars, hope, nothing happen.
Then, we were moving around the downtown “market.” We saw some vendors at the corner of shops or streets.
People look very enthusiasm to order whatever sold by vendors. They sell items include burger, ice cream, juice and many others.

Some people have their own ways to express “real meaning” of Easter. They tribute their possessions to the “real meaning” of resurrection Sunday.
Other people say that the real meaning of Easter is not only about resurrection Sunday, but also about death and burial of Jesus Christ.
However, Easter is celebrated in many ways around the globe, especially in the Christian dominated countries.
Some of celebration, just few examples are by watching solemn processions, attending ceremonies, lighting candles, dancing with live music and then eating very special local or international foods.
In fun ways, Easter is celebrating by searching “real or fake” eggs and decorating baskets for many kinds of goodies.
As part of 2023 Easter celebration, I myself got Easter candies from my job place (office).
Happy Easter for Who celebrates it.
