Peachy Presents

 Today is my birthday. For several weeks I've been watching this peach on our tree, wanting to pick it so bad. Look how it's weighing that branch down. It NEEDS to be picked. These peaches are supposed to ripen late April, but I thought it might need a little more time. For my birthday, I decided to pick it.

This is the biggest peach we've ever gotten off our little tree, even though it is small by most standards. So I cut it open and ate it with my kids. I think it could have used a little more time on the tree or some time on the counter to ripen some more, but I was still excited to be eating something I grew. Hopefully, summer will bring me some more little presents to eat. :)
