Picking Peaches

Picking Peaches
September 5, 2018

Hello,

We arrived at about midnight which is very late for us since we changed our watches in Denver. Andy was there to greet us. It is so nice to get a ride, especially at that hour since most public transportation is not running. It was good to slip into bed almost immediately upon getting to the house. However sleep did not come immediately. We woke at six their time, a bit groggy, but awake. My Fitbit says that I slept four hours and 53 minutes. I knew it was a short time. As usual Nora was quite eager to take a walk with us in the early morning coolness.

On the way back in the house, Leroy went to the peach tree and found a couple that had fallen. We had them on our oatmeal. I went out later, touched a good looking big peach, it came off in my hand. We ate that one for lunch. It was the best, sweet and juicy. I have told people that we were going to Utah to pick peaches and it was a good choice.

We have gone with each girl as she was delivered to school, did a little weeding, went to the library, worked on why Leroy's phone battery runs down so quickly, trimmed a fern, went to a store, and picked some more peaches. Leroy did take some time for a nap. He is also starting to read his library book. He brought back two and he will probably finish both of them.

Some of the peaches have unnecessary visitors so we are treating them to a white vinegar and water bath. Hopefully that will solve that problem. It seems there is something to look forward to all of the time.

I did find many clothes here, but most of them are for the winter. However, I have enough to manage.
