is it summer yet?


Other than the fact than we've been out of school for a month and a half and we have had one week of hot weather, you would never know it's summer on California. We have tomato plants with no tomatoes. We have sunflower plants with no flowers. We have wild blackberry bushes on the lane with sour berries. We have rain, wind, and clouds...

You would never know it was summer... until this week. We have peaches!

Juicy,ripe, beautifully orangey yellowy, fuzzy peaches! And like any other summer they all come ripe within about 72 hours of each other. So, it never fails that we end up with about 300 ripe peaches.

Let the crumbles begin!! Peach crumble, sliced peaches on cereal, peaches for lunch, and homemade peach ice cream. Tomorrow Bee and I will try a new mini lattice mold peach pie recipe. Yum! All peaches, all the time. At least until I can peel, slice and freeze them all for the winter. Leaving out few to make more delicious treats: peach galette, peach popsicles, peach smoothies...
