Peachy

The week snuck up on us this week. It came time to write our update, and we had very few pictures to show for it. We guess there is only so many ways you can fluff up a normal week and make it worth reporting?
We started the week off with our three peaches. We started a bunch of trees the year Cupcake moved out to The Acre. Peach and apple seeds. Several trees lived but we have only got blooms, this year we had three peaches left on the one peach tree closest to the house. Cupcake gave them a squeeze every night we let the dogs out before night night, and she decided they had ripened enough to pick. Monday morning we sliced one open and found it was a white peach with cling free seeds. SCORE!
We ate the one peach we cut open and sliced the other two up to add to our Christmas jam later this year.

On a fruit tree note, we noticed the bush cherries had blooms on them. They started putting out in late April, and then we had a couple of hard freezes in May. The bushes appeared to die off, but put out a few blooms for a picking or two of cherries. This week the dead looking part began to bloom.

We are keeping an eye on these. Old maid tales say a second bloom on fruit trees equals a bad winter ahead. We will put that to the test this year.
Trail cams got us a couple of turkey family pictures this week.


A different take on food this week, we added an over easy egg to our burgers one night. Topped with a garden fresh tomato.

And as always, we ended the week with wings.
