Peach Picking

Finally, a little normalcy.  Like I've said before, the summer was a little over-full.  Too much lice.  Too many friends with sick parents.  Too much travelling.  It was hard to get a rhythm.  Some of our normal activities went completely forgotten.  But we did manage to slip in a peach festival at Carlson Orchard in Harvard, MA.  We picked peaches and then took the girls on a hay ride.

We wrapped up the visit with some peach ice cream.

Ice cream with big chunks of peach in it doesn't appeal to me in the abstract, but the reality was delicious.

I took our peaches home and made peach butter and peach bbq sauce.  It was so very grounding and lovely.
