Wednesday, when I arrived home from Weight Watchers, Hubby handed me a peach. A peach from our very own Reliance Peach Tree. I bit into it, and the juice drizzled down my chin! Yes folks, it’s peach season here in New Hampshire!
We have a bumper crop and Hubby has already sold 35 pounds of peaches, with another 45 pounds ready to go tomorrow! I’m planning to make 2 batches of my Heavenly Peach Jam, but the rest will be given to neighbors and sold to the local farm stands.
I have another big batch of cucumbers and plan to make pickles again this weekend. I’m not sure which kind I’ll make. Moonglow or Bread & Butter. Probably the Moonglow.
Anneliese is uncomfortable, and I think she is ready to have this baby and be done with it! She sleeps a lot, and also tries to stretch out to give her belly and the baby some room.
Her constant companion these days is her brother, Arnie. He seems to sense that she is with puppy, and he snuggles up in an attempt to make her feel good.
Since her temperature is still normal I’m guessing it will be another couple of days. Last time her temperature dropped to 97 degrees and 36 hours later the puppies were born. So, I will keep taking her temperature (much to her dismay), and let you all know when it drops!
The peaches look so good. I would love to taste them. We only get them when they are still green and they are never really juicy like you described.
Then again, we have other fruits, like pineapple and Mangos, which will be ripe soon. Take it easy on your eye, ok?
Wow those peaches look great!!! Can’t wait for puppy! Love YOU, Mel
Darn, no puppy yet 🙂
Those peaches look wonderful. I didn’t know you lived in New Hampshire! I lived there for a couple of years. I miss New England. Hope you have a great day!
Maaaaaaaaan I wish I was your neighbor! (wanders off singing…) Would ya be mine? Would ya be mine? Won’t you be my neighbor? (I miss Mr. Rogers…)
Wow ! what a production ! I would love to be your neighbor and eat your peaches ! I love them it’s one of my favourite fruit !
Fortunately Anneliese has not Arthur’s claws, he would scratch and bite if you only look at this part of his body. Since he had been bitten in the tail he is very very sensible on his back end and really gets angry.
They look scrumptious. As you know, we do not get juicy peaches down here. Eat a couple for me. An here is hoping for a healthy puppy without labor and delivery problems.
Wow I wish I could have a peach tree and the garden you have. Crossing my fingers for the new puppy soon 🙂
Fingers crossed that this puppy comes soon. Those peaches look uber delicious. I just had some of your heavenly jam on a sandwich today – yum!
