Shutter Love Tuesdays: My Favorite Things

Ok, so I know my husband and daughter aren't technically "things" but they are my favorite "things"! And this photo also capture another one of my favorite things - watching them play and interact together. :)

Farmer's Market and More Peaches

After writing about Ella's love for peaches, I had to follow-up with some pictures today that I took at the farmer's market. I was finally able to tag along on the trip to the farmer's market - and I'm glad I made it out. This was the last week our friend was selling peaches.

And, the aftermath! I think she needed a bib! :)

Since this was the last week of peaches at the farmer's market, we got a huge box full of peaches that needed to be cut up and frozen. We quick boiled the peaches so that we could easily remove the skin, removed the skin, cut them up into pieces, and then froze the pieces in a sugar lemon-water mixture. We'll have yummy peaches for Ella to enjoy for quite a while! Processing the peaches reminded me of my baby food making days!

Peaches!

I mentioned that one of Ella's new words this month is "peaches" and boy, she sure does love peaches! Her dad has been taking her every week to the local farmer's market to visit one of our friends who specializes in peaches. She usually eats one or two peaches just sitting there visiting with our friend during the few minutes they are at the farmer's market. Plus the peaches they bring home never go bad . . .she gobbles them up! She loves Mr. Cliff's peaches! Sadly, the peach season is ending, and there are probably only one or two more weeks of the farmer's market.

We've been visiting with my parents who have a few peach trees on their property. Ella enjoyed some of their peaches as well, and also had fun helping her dad get rid of the bad peaches (aka, she tried to throw them like dad over the fence). :)

I'm glad Ella loves fruit so much!
