August is the month in Iowa when the YUMMY peaches begin to arrive at our grocery stores and farmers’ markets. First come the Georgia peaches, then Missouri peaches, then Colorado peaches and finally California peaches. I love them all, yet I do have to choose the Colorado peaches for their strong vibrant flavor. How about you?? I’d love to hear your favorite and your peach stories. Maybe a peach recipe from you?
Peach pie is my absolute favorite dessert. The past few years I have been adding a few blueberries which of course changes the color and adds a bit of tartness.

Well, are you hungry for peaches yet? I only have 2 peaches left in a bowl on my kitchen counter. Guess it’s time to go to the store. Soon this lovely fruit will be gone, season over; so I’d better get to baking and storing this delightful fruit before it’s to late.
God is good. He has created so many fruits for us to enjoy.
Off I go.
I’ve decided. It’s going to be peach cobbler for me today. How about you?
