Late peaches
Stopped by my farmer friend's produce store yesterday. He has a LOT of peaches. I went to pay him for my peaches. Ed says "I am giving the peaches away, they have been touched by frost." He went on to say "Zap them a few seconds in the micro-wave." ????

At home Tricia peeled the peaches, diced them, mixed in with a bit of sugar. Grandson Nate has discoverd fresh peaches. He will never be the same.

So I am off to the farm for more. Gee, I hope he still has some.

1. Nothing quite like
the smell, texture and taste of a sweet fresh peach.

On Halloween, I am hoping to gather a few bags of pecans that afternoon. Mmm, pecan pie, pecans in ice cream, fruit salad..This is my favorite time of year.(no more heat waves, hopefully!)

great uncle's orchard. Never seen/tasted anything quite like them since. Which brings back memories of yellow watermelon. The outsides were dark green, the insides were a beautiful light amber color, with a taste out of this world. Hungry now. :9


on edit: ya'll are making good memories for him that he'll have for the rest of his life. :)

3. Are you in so. e. seaboard?
We were disappointed that we could not find a peach there 2 weeks ago and again this past Monday. Usually bring them back to Fla. for everyone this particular time each year. What happened? Too much rain?

4. Western New York bandy,
On Lake Erie..Farmer Ed said they had a very poor cherry and peach season. His plums seemed to do well, soft, sweet, yummy. He did not say why the season was poor..to busy with customers.

Mmmm Yellow watermellon. I lived for a while in western Tennesee. Right next door to a few acres of mellons, just begging to be robbed by little kids.

Nate is being spoiled rotten, more peaches, plums, angel food cake and whipped cream (Fake).

That's what we used to call egg whites on a banana pudding. Yep, west Tennessee, sometime home of yellow watermelons. :)

7. Ramer, Tennesee
To be exact. Prior to WW Two. Spent many happy days on the River in later life. Pickwick to Wilson. (Fake Calf Slobber)? I bought fake for Nate. He would find your name a lot more colorfull.

Banana pudding with vanilla cookies? Just like down south??
