On Monday, Labor Day, Mark and I were driving to Neola and Mark mentioned a sign he saw that said, peaches, new grove, pick your own. Well yesterday I drove up the highway to investigate the matter. I was amazed to find this couple with a grove of over 600 peach, apple, plums, apricot trees. The lady said I could go pick some to sample. Well they were good so I called in the troops and found some boxes. Mark, Stacy and kids helped me pick peaches. This was a new experience for us. We had never picked peaches like that. We would find a tree and sample a peach. If we liked it we picked more, if it wasn't to our liking we went on to another tree. But they were very ripe and so tonight, bless Stacy's heart, we canned peaches on my new cook top. Actually Jan & Gary's old one that they gave away. Anyway it took some getting used to using. Tired, but a good tired.
