This is the first year that we have gotten peaches off of our peach tree. After a lot of tender loving care, we finally got something out of it. Last year we pruned and nursed all of our trees back to life, and planted a garden. The deer got every last piece of my garden and the trees didn't do much (the birds did leave us a few cherries). This year I didn't waste my time on a garden, but we got cherries, peaches, grapes, and some blackberries off of the neighbors bush. My favorite fruit is the peach so I was most excited to receive peaches. We ate fresh peaches, put them on our cereal, made desserts out of them and then I decided we had too many. So I started making jam and had to take 3 different trips to the store to get pectin and containers because I had no clue I would be able to make that much jam. I made 6 batches of jam and still had some peaches left over to cut some up and freeze for fresh peaches in the winter.
These are my 6 batches of jam. I even had a couple jars of blackberry/peach which Ali has decided it's her favorite!
Just a quick shot of Grant for Grandma!

Awesome Trisha...that looks so good! You are more ambitious than your mother...which is a GOOD thing! You will enjoy all that jam. When I saw there was a picture of Grant, I was looking for the sock or the underwear!! But he was just being cute!! thanks
WOW!! That is truly Awesome! I'm so proud of you, what a gal! You are trying and doing lots of wonderful homemaking things that will be a blessing to you and your family for a long, long time. The peaches look wonderful -- and you'll enjoy the frozen ones more than you expect. They are wonderful over a warm Bisquick velvet crumb cake with whipped cream on top. Yummy!!!
Oh, I love that little Grant, he is adorable. And Ali looked so cute in her new school clothes, she is a REAL "keeper". We love you all more than you know.

So that is by far mean, I love peaches and I can't find any here. and that is the cutest pic of Grant.
Trisha ~ This makes the rest of us moms feel like losers compared to you. I can barely keep track of my kids let only nurse trees back to health. This is so typical you and makes me miss you a lot. You kids are so cute...I love Grant and Ally has gotten so big and so dang cute. I am glad to see you guys are doing good. Love you, Rach
