Oh Happy Day
This is the day that we wait all summer long for– Fresh Peach Shakes at our favorite Taco place. Oh. My. Word. We get a little nutty with it, to tell you the truth. We’ve found that it’s perfectly ok to have a peach shake for breakfast…lunch…AND dinner. Wonderful even.
These sweet things—made with peaches from the company’s very own orchard—are beyond incredible. And they only make them until the peaches are gone.
So we waited patiently while they made one just for us.
Oh, we were entertained in the meantime with Chompy’s ice cream cone…
umm….adventure. But at last, at last…
the pretty girl gave us our scrumptious peach shake! Ooooh…how will we be able to drive straight? It’s sooo good.
The only thing better than grabbing this thing nice and quick and gobbling it down would be if I could learn to make them at home…
myself.
Oh—do I heard a challenge?
Yeah–I have some peaches to play with. But I’ll be back soon.
heh, heh, heh.

Things We Have An Abundance Of…
Peaches…again…and for as long as we can get them. Today may just be a jam day. We’ll see.
T-shirt yarn to make some lovely projects with–you’ll see…very soon! :}
Pine cones…they’re everywhere! We gather them up and do our noble best to save them as fire-starters–but they just keep coming back. Do you suppose they grow up from the concrete?
Firewood—since that mighty wind came along and huffed and puffed and blew the fence down. Thank goodness for the strong and sturdy fellows that gathered and stacked it all.
Blueberries…by the busload, whipped into so many lovely things–stay tuned.
Pretty girls with watering cans to help our thirsty garden. Tomatoes are still sleeping–what is going ON?
Finger puppets from WeeKnit–and we haven’t even gotten out our Halloween and Christmas ones yet! HA! Obsessive you say? I haven’t begun to be obsessive…yet! :}
Blue Jays–you know, the huge, bossy, squawking kind that chase all the other birds away and fill their mouths up with sunflower seeds and fly away somewhere else to shell and eat them. Silly things.
The tail end of our gorgeous summer flowers–showing off, I suppose, one last time before they sleep for a while.
What about you on this lovely day–what do YOU have an abundance of?

Just Peachy
Remember those peaches from the Farmer’s Market?
That whole box that we brought home to make six hundred million jars of jam and three hundred pies with?
Well…
something…
happened.
Houston, we have a problem.

Farmer’s Market
I imagine that you know by now that we–our whole family–has quite a thing for Farmer’s Markets. We positively LOVE them.
This is the peach guy–a personal favorite of mine…see that box on the end there? Oh, it’s on my table right this minute.
And the tie-dye lady was wonderful–all those beautiful colors. I needed a picture of that pink and purple thingy–so I could remember it…always.
We got Chompy a pretty little dress from there and she was very excited to NOT show it to anyone.
Miss Lily got her face painted…
with a perfect Rapunzel crown.
And the honey girl gave us samples of her Pumpkin Flower Honey…so we needed that too. WHAT?
There was a cantaloupe lady, a garlic dude, and a bread man but I was too busy staring at everything to get a picture of it all.
The little folks had a perfect ride in a real (ahem) covered wagon.
I fell in love with the soap lady’s stuff. Honey, Brown Sugar, Rose and even a slice of Coffee soap–which, I hear, will take onion or fish or garlic scent off your hands. Cool.
Asiago Bread—
peaches…
and honey. Can you tell what we’re having for supper?
That is…if we can stay awake long enough.

In Desperate Need…
…of these.
A whole busload, if you please. You see, I’m having a craving for raspberry jam–the real stuff, not the—ahem—store bought kind.…if you get my drift.
So, I’m on a raspberry quest today–and I shan’t be thwarted.
I’ll let you know how it goes. Oh, and if you happen to see a crazy woman flying past as a red blur in the valley today—don’t be afraid…it’s just me.
I suggest you scoot out of the way.
:} Heh, heh…
