Apples and Peaches





This year instead of growing vegetables in a garden, we focused on fruit. We have 2 apple trees, a peach tree, and grapes. Last night was our big harvest. Lucas helped Daddy pick the peaches. He was so excited that it was finally time to pick them, since he has been taking weekly trips behind the barn to check on their growth since spring. We gave Adam a peach to put in the bucket and he tried to eat it so we put him on apple duty. You can tell he was proud of himself being able to help in his picture as well. About a month ago, Andy harvested our grapes and has a batch of wine fermenting in the basement, so we'll have to wait and see how that turns out in a few months.
