for the love of peaches

one of my favorite things about fall are the peaches. this year i went to a church orchard here in the valley and picked peaches right off the tree with my kids. first, we filled a bin for the church, and then we picked for ourselves. we came home with so many peaches, once you start picking it's hard to stop! we have been pounding down the peaches around here - peaches for every meal. i wish they would just last forever, but we have to eat them while they are good. i made peach leather with the bruised peaches, and we've had peach cobbler, peach pie and of course peach smoothies. i love that the kids come home from school and grab fresh peaches for after school snacks. we are almost through the last of our peaches for the season, they have definitely been a real treat.

yesterday i was trying to get some pictures of the little lady and she was not cooperating. abi, was helping me and gave lydi a little taste of her peach. she quickly took over and i snapped a few of her juicy and sweet.

Ooooh boy, she is NOT happy that the yummy treat was taken away. Love that hot pink!!! I could totally bring her home with me. She's so cute, it hurts.
