well, we made it down to Arkansas for peaches! We left Thurs AM,
picked Friday AM, and left for home after picking.....got here Sat at
230 AM. Whew. Maybe getting too old for such long hours, plus
picking peaches in heat and humidity??? We only got 908 pounds---the
orchard really suffered from the weather this year, 50% of the trees
have died. The farmer does not know if he will replace the trees or
not. It was hard to find the peaches, we had to check out many
trees--usually the trees are loaded with fruit, not this year! The
fruit is good, we hope to sell the remaining at the Tuesday Farmer's
Market.
When we got up Sat morning---we had to pick our own raspberries (6
pounds) plus 12 pounds of peas. Boy the gardens missed us! We had
people coming during the day and evening to pick up peaches---no time
for any naps!! ha
Well, time to get ready for church, Jim is out picking peas again....I
get the job of the raspberries after church while he goes to a trap
shoot. Hope all are well, visit soon.
Kay and Jim
