Peaches, Peaches and More Peaches


We have been enjoying boxes of peaches lately. We have been buying them from a local farmer, Mr. Pyne. Mike grew up around his orchard, and has fond memories playing in the orchards with his grand kids, and eating the peaches. Mr. Pyne is a sweet old man, and even though he doesn't remember me after going there every week or so for the past couple months, he sure has delicious peaches. They are picked vine ripe, or a few days from being ripe, and that makes for a juicy wonderful peach.

One of our favorite ways we have enjoyed our peaches is cutting them up and putting them over some Breyers vanilla ice cream. We have also made some blended baby food for Liam. We would like to dry some before the season is over too! It's just so hard to dry them though, when they are just so good to snack on fresh!
