Happy Monday to you! Once a year farmers from the Palisade region on Colorado come down to the plains bringing their bounty of Peaches. Last Thursday hubby and I went to my favorite nursery in Fort Collins, where the farmer that I've bought peaches from in the past had set up a tent. I have found that one full box just isn't enough, so I got two this year. Although I used to can in California and 40-50 lbs of fruit was nothing compared to what I'd buy there, I am no longer canning, but simply slice them and put them in freezer bags. Although it sounds like a huge amount of fruit, it really isn't. So on Thursday, I made four peach-blueberry cobblers, three of which I gave away. On Friday, I started slicing them and putting them in freezer bags-I got 9 quart bags. I love freezing them because all winter I have them for baking or just dessert. Palisade Peaches are the best peaches I've ever had; in fact, I cut one up for my cereal today. I got 9 quart size bags out of the batch I cut up. Yesterday I made about 10 more quart bags to freeze. I still have more peaches, though I gave our next door neighbor some.
Thursday night our town had it's summer concert and it was fun. It was a beautiful summer evening and the band was so good.
The clouds and sky were incredible; we left when it started to rain.
I'm off to walk this morning and then I'm sure will have errands to run.
I hope you have a fantastic day-it's the last day of July; where has the summer gone!
Blessings,
Noreen
Noreen, I would love some fresh peach slice on a bowl of ice cream for my supper. LOL. I love cobblers and jams make from peaches. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo, Susie

OH, those peaches look so good. Mom loves peaches WHEN she can find some good ones, and she always shares a bite or two with us. We are going to tell her we need a roadtrip to find some of those Palisade Peaches too.
