Savoring the Last Bit (e) of Summer


Winter is coming...I can feel it...and I am dreading it. This summer was cold up here. I've heard people all over town talking about how it never really felt like we had a summer or that summer was over before it started. I have to agree. But...I am trying to hold onto it as much as I can.

With that in mind...Tyler and I headed up to Green Bluff this past weekend to pick peaches. Just us...it was our "date". It was so much fun. I know our kids love to go up there but it truly was delightful not to have tired, whiney, and sticky kids with us. (They can come up when it's time to pick apples and pick out pumpkins.)

I LOVE peaches and we found some delicious ones!!

The fruit of our labors

Me in action...Is there anything better than a juicy peach right off the tree?

Tyler checking things out to see if there was anything else he wanted to pick.

After our peach picking we stopped at our favorite Harvest House for lunch. We ran into some old friends from our 1st year in Spokane. It was so fun to see them and to hear what they were up too...all while chowing down on a delicious sandwich, peach pie, peach lemonade (heavenly) and hot pumpkin donuts...and relaxing on the grass and soaking in the sun.

While we were out and about we hit some garage sales and and I found some definite "treasures"!!

Then it was home to the kiddos and to pick this from our own garden/yard:

And to make this:

It was delicious!!

Summer, you may be on your way out but I am holding on as long as I possibly can.
