Leaning out over the balcony railing, and biting into my first fresh Hill Country peach of the season, as the juice rolls down my arm and drips off my elbow. Mmmmmmm! In fact, I'm pretty sure I started moaning on the way home from the farmers' market, when that peachy fragrance seeped out and filled my car.

Guess I'm going to have to keep a bottle of selzer water around just to hose you off from time to time.
OMG that looks "deee-lishus." I brought some Fred. peaches from a be-side-the-road stand 2 weeks ago and was **very** disappointed; maybe they were too early (mealy and dry.) Think I'll try again! (That juice in your palm looks like stigmata! ;-)
P.S. loved the old man's comment; any excuse to wet you down, right!
Ha, it does look like blood, doesn't it? By the way, did they actually tell you the peaches were grown in Fredericksburg? I stopped at a roadside stand between here and San Marcos once, right in the middle of peach season, only to find that their peaches were actually from California! Now I always ask, just to be sure.

JoBeth Cloud: No fruit this year. Had a bumper crop of peaches and pears last season. Not even pears or hognose plums. Bad chilling hours in the Hood!

Becky Thomas Lane: Broke my heart last year. We had just planted our first peach tree, and it got about 1,000 peach buds on it -- which we had to pick and toss in the trash since the tree was too young and weak. This year, when we could have left them on? Didn't get a single one! So unfair!
