Last week we drove to Clarksville to pick a little bit of heaven
(with a bonus visit with my wonderful Grandpa, aunt, and cousins!)
 |
| Some of our helpers. |
The peaches are fantastic this year, so worth the drive.
There are so many and they are so abundant and sweet!
 |
| Red Havens and White Nectar (or Winblo?) Peaches |
Of course all the kitchen counters covered with peaches means
I had to get busy putting them away…
(Peaches turn quickly if you’re not careful!)
So I made peach pie,
Two batches of peach jam…
 |
| First batch of Peach Spiced Jam |
Some canned peaches…
 |
| Canned Peaches |
 |
| My mess |
And also a beautiful fruit salad
and several quart bags of frozen sliced peaches to use later!
It wouldn’t be bad if I wasn’t allergic to fruit…
It’s really hard to not eat some!
Also, Johnson County has a beautiful new outdoor recreational area
so we checked it out. There water park is only $6 and nicer than anything we
have in the Central AR area. The kids had a blast. They are working on an indoor
pool that looks like it will rival anything here! I’m a bit jealous!
