English: Autumn Red peach. Français : Pêches Español: Durazno cortado por la mitad (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
I don’t know about you all, but I love, absolutely adore, fresh peaches. Now I’m not talking about those little hard things you can buy at the grocery store. Nope. I’m talking about those huge, tree-ripened, juicy peaches that you can only find for a short time every summer. And now’s the time.
I’m not-so-patiently waiting for Greg to bring me some from Huber’s Orchard. He told me he would. Oh, how I hope he does. I can just about taste that sweet burst of peachiness as you take a big bite and then have to laugh because the juice dribbles down your chin. Maybe tomorrow…I hope tomorrow. If not? Well, I do have a bit of a contingency plan. There’s a little orchard on the west side of Bloomington…not too far from where I work. I can always swing by there after work and pick up a peck of perfectly plump peaches.
The window is open for such a short stretch of time…better get ’em while the gettin’s good!

I am a peach freak! I have to limit myself, hold myself back, BUT Chick-fil-A has a peach milkshake that I dream about. Crave. I try to just think about the calcium benefit.. 😀 We are just seeing peaches at our farmer’s markets. I am happy to meet you!
Haven’t tried that one yet…sounds delish tho…I do use them in my smoothies and they are fantastic!
A really fresh peach is one of the best tastes of summer!

YES! Peaches are my very favourite summer fruit! We have a short season here, but I eat them every day when they’re fresh from the trees. YUM!!!
