Sunday afternoon. I'm wearing my favorite maxi dress that makes me feel like a goddess. I went in my in-law's backyard to pick peaches from their tree. The hanging fruit's sweetness permeates my nose and fills my head with ideas of pies, cobblers, and sweet cream. I reach above my head to pick a beautifully ripened globe when Mr. Branflake sneaks up behind me and whispers in my ear, "You're beautiful."
Suddenly, peaches have become the most romantic fruit ever.
What's your favorite way to eat peaches?
Besides, of course, with a handsome man feeding them to you. Heh.

What beautiful way you have with words.
I love this story :) And peaches are pretty delicious in all of their forms as far as I'm concerned!
So cute! Peaches are one of my favorite summertime treats!
austin LOVES peaches ahhaha!!!
I actually like peaches best fresh. I do love some peach cobbler, but cold peaches are my favorite. Therefore, homemade peach ice cream is also a favorite of mine!

I never had feelings for peaches until I moved to Texas. I didn't dislike them or anything, but now we're having a love affair with them. So yes, romantic, indeed!
Grilled!

Oooh! I LOVE PEACHES! I have been enjoying THE BEST this season cut in half with Greek yogurt plopped into the little crevice. The best peaches I ever had were in France. I ate so many of them the palms of my hands turned orange!

ENJOY YOUR SUMMER and do come back for another visit next weekend! Anita
Oh, I adore this!! What a lovely story!!
The other day I bought a basket of peaches and every day I am cutting them and fresh stawberries into slivers and mixing them with vanilla yogurt as a snack for work.
Have a wonderful week, Tiffany :)

what a "juicy" story haha :)
Awww! So sweet! You have quite the sweetheart of a husband!
Cor and I had chocolate dipped strawberries all throughout the first summer we were married--they were unusually inexpensive that year. Every time we have strawberries it takes me back to those long hot days with a broken A/C unit, melted chocolate, and cool fresh fruit.
Oh I love wearing maxi dresses on weekends too, they are so comfy yet stylish.
For some reason I always get peaches and nectarines mixed up, so whenever someone asks me "Do you like peaches?" I always respond with..."That's the furry one, right?" :P
I LOVE fresh peaches. Oh, and peaches that are halved and grilled on a BBQ then topped with molasses or vanilla ice cream! :)
Lovely blog! x
Love all summer fruit .. but peaches are my favorite. In pies, over ice cream, or on the grill.
I want peaches now too. You have an amazing husband :) <3
I love peaches! If a dessert has peaches in it, I'll usually order it. :)
haha :) I'm loving peaches right now!
To just be somewhere where peaches grow and to be able to pick them would just be wonderful (I do remember doing that during family holidays in Portugal as a child) but unfortunately not an option here in the UK...
Thanks for your comment, it made me smile and I'm sure you're right: people like that never "see it coming" ;-)
So simple but yet so incredible yummy :)
I melted into my little seat! So glad to be back, and reading your wonderful blog–catching up on the last week felt like sitting down with a cup of tea and you!
I am in love with peaches as a fruit and as a soft color for design and decorating! Yay for maxi dresses too! :)
Is there a favorite way to eat peaches??? I had some in my vanilla frozen yogurt last night. :) Yum Yum.
Sure he's not buttering you up for a pie? :)
Can't wait to head to GA for some fresh peaches! It's cobbler time!
i ate a peach this weekend and it was TO-DIE-FOR. sometimes i shy away from peaches, as i just CANNOT STAND IT when they are mealy. but when a peach is perfect, it is truly hard to beat. i love love love peach cobbler, but a fresh peach is the way to go. yum. i have to get some tomorrow!
p.s. right now i am DYING over those golden yellow cherries. i tried them for the first time over the weekend. OMYLORD THEY ARE SO DELICIOUS!!!!!!
