Breezin’ Through Summer Pickin’ Peaches

Summer Peaches

I’m movin’ to the country,
I’m gonna eat me a lot of peaches.

Presidents of the United States of America

Summer peaches.
Pickin’ paradise
for a century long.
Year after year,
pie after pie.

Peaches.
Fuzzy.
Round.
Hanging low on branches.

Ready to be picked.
Baskets gathered.
Orchard full and ready.

Peach jam.
Peach cobbler.
Peach pie.
Peach tea.
Georgia. Arkansas.
Peaches everywhere.

Peaches remind us
To slow down.
To be patient for the ripening.
Sweetness comes to all who wait.

Peaches teach us to savor nature.
To gather in the fields and orchards.
To enjoy the here and now.

Rural Arkansas taught me to appreciate fresh fruits and vegetables more than I already had…
at the peach festival in July…

This summer,

May every peach you pick remind you to slow down
and wait for the harvest.

Sometimes the sweetness is worth the wait.
