peaches

Image our surprise and joy to find that we have a peach tree growing in the front yard!  We spotted it in July when we saw the fuzzy green fruit.  We moved into the house last August and there was no fruit... so we weren't sure. After some close observation and research, we discovered it was a dwarf peach tree. I guess the tree doesn't produce fruit for a few years.. 

 The girls and I watched closely over the next weeks as the green fruit began to turn yellow and then pink.

This has been a fabulous adventure. Cookie picks them everyday and we sit on the front porch eating them. Come on over and pick some.
