With the last week of our apricot harvest behind us, our Peaches can safely assert their place as the reigning queen of summer. This week we share a poem in her honor!
A Fresh Peach
by Marilyn Lott
There is nothing in the world
That is as juicy or as sweet
As a freshly picked peach
Oh, what a luscious treat
Picked right from the tree
Soft but still quite firm
Pristine fresh it is
Free from scars or worms
Fuzzy on the surface
But very succulent inside
Oh, how delicious the taste
Such a moist flavorful ride
To find the perfect fruit
Is not beyond your reach
