It’s a new week! And good things will happen. Watch for them! Look for them! Sometimes the good things don’t always whack you on the head or dangle right in front of your eyes. Sometimes they are hidden treasures that you have to search for.
Holiday weekends are always fun and exciting…everyone is feeling festive and communal, and all kinds of parties and activities going on. It’s like something is different in the air on a holiday…
We spent most of our weekend starting out on a little summer business venture selling southern peaches to northern people. We started selling on Thursday and I’ve been immersed in peach-world ever since. It’s been super fun and a little exhausting, and we plan to keep it up for the rest of the summer.
The peaches come to us hard and un-ripe, and we were able to dig into them yesterday finally. I’ve been waiting for months for those first bites from a perfectly ripe peach, and I was reminded just how much I love those little things. Not because I’m selling them…but because they are just so sweet and juicy and summery. We ate them for breakfast over waffles, plain with lunch for dessert, and chopped up over chocolate cake and yogurt for dinner. Can’t. get enough. As a southern girl, I grew up eating peaches for weeks and weeks during the summer, and with our little venture, now I can be a northern girl eating peaches for weeks and weeks.
Besides working peaches, we had a pretty low key weekend. We were too wore out to do much in the evenings, so we grilled hamburgers and went to bed early. Not much of a festive July 4th, but we were too tired to care about much else. Sleep never feels so good as it does after a long, hard day of work, right?
