Memorial Day weekend officially marks the beginning of summer in my book, with the temps already in the high 90’s and with getting to wear white shorts and all. The first must-do on our summer bucket list, right after opening the pool, was definitely peach picking. There are only a few days out of the year when Schnepf Farms opens up its orchards for the U-pick, and we went on the very last day this year. We had a picnic lunch and sampled all the peach products, from peach salsas to peach BBQ sauces, jams, and candies.
hopped on a tractor trailer, and they brought us to the very last few rows of peach trees that hadn’t yet been picked over. Jake found a secret patch of trees dripping with the ripest peaches, and we hung out there for the duration, consuming about the same amount as we brought home right there on the spot. Everyone picked and ate until we were so hot and sweaty and itchy from peach fuzz and dirt that we decided to call it good and head home with our spoils and jump into the pool.
Peaches, unfortunately, weren’t the only thing Liam decided to eat while we were there. I didn’t catch him with this clump of dirt until it was too late. He was actually much dirtier than the pictures show… and he pooped dirt for days.
