One of the perks of living out in the country is the abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables available to us whenever we feel like picking some up.
Right now, we’re eating our fill of peaches because they are about to go out of season. And by the way, fresh, ripe peaches straight from the tree? Delicious. And paying a couple of dollars for a whole box of them? Also delicious, but in a whole other way.
Oh, and have I forgotten to introduce you to my daughter’s newest “pet”?
Are you sensing where I’m going with this?
We discovered him on the table, under a napkin, after we finished a feeding frenzy involving about a half dozen (thoroughly washed) peaches. I’m hoping he was a loner, and didn’t have a family.
Regardless, I think I’m done eating peaches…. at least for now. But maybe forever.

Yikes, I think I’m done eating peaches just from reading about it. We did have a yummy peach cobbler yesterday though. Cooked inchworms aren’t as nasty.
Ew. I am not a fan of bugs and slimy bugs are even worse. You are a better mother than I am because I wouldn’t let me daughter keep it in her room if it were me. 🙂
Ew! I would soooo be done, too! We had a bug or two in our first batch of local strawberries this year and that did me in. I’m sooo not into bugs in my food.
But Andrea! Bugs are healthy! They are full of *protein*.
You just reminded me of my Mother in laws (hopefully bug-free) bottled peaches. I miss them.
Um. That. Is. Disgusting.
But as Sophie alluded to people in other countries eat bugs all the time! So, instead of feeling grossed out, say you feel like a Ugandan!
I live in the peach state and I don’t think I could ever give them up…even if they came with visitors!
I am pretty sure I’m done with peaches now for a long while, as well.
