Peaches

Peaches right off the tree are my favorite food. They are just like candy. I LOVE a good peach. I do believe that the main reason for this passion for peaches is not only because they taste like heaven, but they always bring back so many memories for me. My Grandpa owned a peach orchard in Orem when I was little. One of my favorite trips to Grandpa and Grandma's house each year was when everyone got together to pick peaches. I was to little so I got to play with all my cousins. It just didn't get any better than playing with cousins with minimal adult supervision and being able to eat peaches until you were just sick to your stomach.

Consequently, when we moved to Syracuse one of my first orders of business was to put in a peach tree. This is our third summer and we finally have peaches. I cannot wait until they are ready to pick. I caught Brock touching one the other day and I let him know how important it was to leave the peaches alone. Those are only for Mom's hands! I have 30 peaches and I am impressed with myself that I haven't named them all.
