For the past few weeks we've noticed lots of fruit growing on one of the trees, but at the time we weren't sure what kind of fruit was growing. Peaches!! They're small, but they're definitely peaches. We hadn't been in the backyard for a few days, so when we went outside yesterday we were surprised to see so many peaches on the limbs of one of the trees that the limbs were actually starting to bend and break from too much weight. You know what that means...peach harvest time!
Below is only part of what we picked. By the end of the afternoon that whole tub was full to the top, and we still have a few more to pick in a week or so when they're more ripe.
Eli has two methods to eating peaches. Here is the first method...
Here is the second method...
We also have this gorgeous apple tree that isn't quite ready to pick. They sure look pretty, though.
And we end the afternoon with a shirtless boy and his favorite backyard toy.

We are jealous of the peaches, but even mores so of that delicious boy (not you Jake, the other boy). Can't wait to squeeze him in a couple of days (if he lets me!)
I'm so jealous of your fruit trees! How fun!
We can't wait to see you guys in T-3 days!
That's an awesome perk! I'm feeling jealous of your weather right now, too...it snowed today!!
That fruit is beautiful! what a great harvest! Eli grows up a little more each time I see photos of him.
I can't believe you already are harvesting peaches. Ours don't ripen till July-August! Lucky you.
I have to agree with everyone and say that I AM SO JEALOUS! Peaches are my favorite fruit. We wanted to plant some, but we figured we won't be in this house in a few years when it starts producing fruit. Enjoy all the peaches. Make some cobbler. Yum!
Have you made any freezer jam?
Our peaches aren't ripe until August around here. Yours look delightful!
That is so awesome! I'm jealous of your trees too :)
