Melancholy Smile: Just Peachy

Just Peachy

Our petite little peach trees produced an impressive amount of fruit this year. We harvested most over the weekend.

Some were perfectly sized for eating warm from the sun...

... others were tiny, but just as tasty. We sliced them up and made peach pie a la mode for dessert last night, checking it off of our list of things-we-must-do-this-summer.

Next up? A road trip, the perfect gelato, and s'mores. :)

LisAway said...: Wow! Didn't you just plant that last year? or maybe the year before? It was so tiny! Still is, I guess. But what a lot of beautiful fruit! Oh, peaches are my favorite. I'm pretty sure that's what the fruit on the Tree of Life tastes like. The perfect peach, because nothing could possibly taste better.; June 14, 2011 at 11:51 PM
