Peach Picking

Our third annual berry picking trip ended up as Peach Picking. Mayme and I decided it was much more fun and much less work to pick peaches instead of blackberries. Blackberries require gloves to avoid thorn injuries and they aren't nearly as delicious as a juicy peach.

The bonus for Vin was that he was tall enough to reach the fruit.






This was taken while Mayme and I got the instructions from the farmer. Vin took 2 peaches from the tasting sample box, found an orange traffic cone to use as a back support and then sat down to enjoy his snack. It was so funny how he found himself this "comfy" seat in the dirt. He didn't stop "double fisting" peaches the entire time we were there. In fact, he ate so many while we were in Llano that I initially thought the mouth sores from the hand, foot and mouth virus were from peach acid.
