Summer Sundays-It's a Peach Thing!

It's peach pie time!  The craving started a week or two ago and simply could not wait any longer, so off to the local Orchard we drove.  Returning gleefully with our sweet treasures I set about to create the delicacy that would finally "scratch our itch".  The salivating began as the sweet aroma of peach pie began to waft through the house, permeating every corner and crevice.  Bringing with it the comforting familiarity of Summers spent with my Great-Grandmother. 

And Finally....It Was Time...

From laden boughs, from hands,

from sweet fellowship in the bins,

comes nectar at the roadside, succulent

peaches we devour, dusty skin and all,

comes the familiar dust of summer, dust we eat.

O, to take what we love inside,

to carry within us an orchard, to eat

not only the skin, but the shade,

not only the sugar, but the days, to hold

the fruit in our hands, adore it, then bite into

the round jubilance of peach.
