The Sweetest Gift

Literally. A fellow photographer who I met last month at a GTG gave me the sweetest, juiciest, most fantastic little peaches off her tree!! I love LOVE peaches and have been waiting for Costco to get some in. I read this other blog sometimes and I think she has a peach obsession too and last year she would post the most delioucous sounding recipes. And yesterday at the salon I was talking to one of my clients and she told me about this that I want to totally try out. One thing my husband and I have been talking about for like a year is growing a garden. We just haven't got around to doing it. But I love fresh fruits and veggies. Another photographer friend talks about his homegrown potatoes all the time on his facebook updates and they sound soooo yummy!

So anyway the other day I was on her blog and she had taken a picture of the moon and the peaches. I left her a comment totally joking, saying something like Yum! Is that your tree? You should bring me some! So last night I see her again, and from across the room I wave. I did notice she is carrying a brown little sack. She stopped and was talking to some other people. When I finally make my way to her I said again totally joking Are those my peaches? I never even thought it really was her tree because it looked like a wild field not a yard in the picture. Nor did I truly think there were really peaches in her bag, let alone for me! And when she said Yes! These are for you I literally squealed and gave her 15 million hugs! Gifts like this are the truly the best EVER!! Ones that are such a simple gesture and totally unexpected. I know I hugged you so much last night, but Thank You so much Brenda!!! You are so sweet I am going to nickname you Peaches! My daughter and I enjoyed them on the patio this morning along with the rain. Here are some pics of a few of the juicy little fellas before they had a party in my belly........................

One thing about homegrown organic stuff is they are TINY!!! But sooooooo flavorful. These guys are in one of those small snack pack baggies.............

See itty bitty! So cute! And so yummy! Who ever said bigger was better???
