Peaches, Peaches!

A few weeks ago we took the kids peach picking at the church orchards in Caldwell, ID. They loved it! Avery thought the green and yellow peaches were best. Gage just liked the ladders. Ashley was very particular with her selections and careful with the fruit. Steven was very brave--climbing as high as he could go! You may pick for service and then are allowed to purchase the fruit at great prices. We came home with a few bushels of peaches. They have been delicious! I bottled 14 quarts of them this year (which is a miracle considering last years' experience and nearly swearing off canning forever) I realize 14 quarts is a meager attempt at homemaking- but I'm proud of it! Next year, perhaps I will attempt 20! Ha Ha. Fresh peach pie was delicious too! My good friend Cheri came over during a BSU football game to make pie with me. The 'boys' watched the game and we made pie--to each his own! I miss having the fresh fruit around--but I don't miss the fruit flies!
