watermelon, blueberry, feta & mint salad

this weekend was my birthday weekend.  i'm officially 35 which means i've graduated to the new age bracket of 35-49.  yikes, how did that happen?

to celebrate my sister and her husband (who was also celebrating a birthday weekend) hosted a family BBQ, our first one of the summer season.  

my contribution was a refreshing watermelon salad.  

so colourful and bright, it's looks like summer in a bowl.
