So, without missing a beat. . .

We picked the peaches off our tree yesterday night.  And they were so remarkably sweet, juicy and delicious that I just had to tell you all about them.

There were about thirty, baseball or bigger sized peaches and that's just a crazy yield from our little two year old tree.  We weren't expecting it to set fruit this year at all, and back in the spring, I picked off at least half of all the fruit buds that the tree had started to grow!!  So, my joy is mixed with an equal portion of disbelief!

  I have plans to make a Peaches and Cream pie from Cook's Country magazine, which we are excited about, but the rest are for eating out of hand!  You should really hear the slurping at our house.

Come to think of it, you probably can!!
