Peaches!

Aah, another post about me working on my domesticity. :) Our new house has a peach tree, and last week the peaches were ripe, so we picked them all for Family Home Evening one night. Jared loved it! He was totally helpful picking them--so we got him his own set of gloves (since Alan and I were wearing them) and his own grocery sack to put them in (so we could sort out the good ones from the bad ones.)

Our peach tree is actually a pathetic-looking little thing, and you can see above that it is being held up by two metal posts.

We have been enjoying fresh peaches on our cereal, fresh peaches for lunch, and fresh peaches in our milkshakes. Yum!

My mom helped me can my peaches. It was such a pain to peel them since most of them were the size of apricots, but I did get 14 quarts for our food storage! It is kind of a satisfying feeling to have canned peaches from our own yard!
