Especially peach pie and ice cream! Western Missouri has some large peach orchards--down by Lexington where a Civil War battle was fought. Starting in late June and then throughout July, three friends and I go "peaching" every Saturday. I gobble them up with cereal and as desert for a week and then I'm ready for our next trip. <br /><br />The peach stands also have veggies and jam/jelly so the Saturday trips get a little expensive for me but I enjoy them so much! Peace.

It is still far too early here, it will be August or September before the local fruit is ready. Thank goodness for imports. I picked up strawberries yesterday for $2/quart (or approximately a quart). I cut up two baskets to freeze, the third we'll eat fresh. <br /><br />Your granddaughter is both adorable and funny. I'm certain your grandson was meaning his comment as a compliment. Thanks to you and your DH, the outside animals you care for have a chance at a better life. The indoor cats...well, we all know who rules the roost. :)<br /><br />Have a great week.<br />EileenSakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-16734684267415768932018-05-27T08:53:39.462-07:002018-05-27T08:53:39.462-07:00Exercise is good for us.
