As we get ready for the last phase of summer--our trip to NY and back to school--let's look at how fun our summer has been so far! It really has been a leisurely summer, and more fun than last year since the kids are older, but I am already looking forward to the structure of the school-year again.
We had our first peach harvest this week! Last year the squirrels took every one of the hundred or so green ones that had started on the tree. This year the squirrels bided their time. We watched the peaches grow ripe on the tree, figuring we had about a 50% chance of getting most of those peaches. So earlier this week, I went out one afternoon, and sure enough, the squirrels has taken their chance while the dog was inside and about 2/3 of our peaches were gone. We quickly harvested the ones that were left and ready enough to pick. We still got a big bowlful and they are delicious peaches.
