Peach Picking 2012

I know, I know. I am a terrible person for neglecting this blog so much. But here are peach picking pictures from (almost two weeks ago) this summer.

We've had a miserably hot summer in New York. My garden has been terrible because the weather has been so scorching and incredibly humid some weeks. Hence, no garden pictures. Trust me, it isn't a lovely sight this year, and I've already ripped out several plants.

Much to our surprise, Lewin's Farms was allowing people to pick peaches this year. The peaches were delicious despite the weather, too. We went on a very hot and humid day (please don't mind the glossiness of my face, seeing as it was hard to keep my makeup from just melting off). Don't let that beautiful blue sky in these pictures fool you; this was a stay inside with the air conditioner on full blast kind of day.

I made a peach crisp with most of the white peaches we picked, and the others we enjoyed eating.

 That white car in the background ruins this picture of good ol' farm life...

Blackberry and raspberry picking were closed that day, but the fields were located right across the street.





When I said to William, "Hey, look at this baby peach tree!" he responded, "Oh, a tree for you to pick from." What a nice boyfriend...
