We Really are City Folks

Ms. S. can't get over how much of a City Boy Hubba Hubba is. So different from the boys she knows. I've tried to tell her that he's actually a City Man, since he did grow up in a city and spent some time in South America growing up. Obviously this means that farming is totally foreign to him. Me too, for that matter. I remember going to visit my grandparents ranch in Central Texas and walking through the orchards and going out to see the cattle. But, truly this was vacation and not my real life, so I'm pretty umfamiliar with how to grow things.

However, with our house, we inherited 2 peach trees. They didn't bloom that much last year, so we asked my grandmother what to do to make them pop this season. Hubba Hubba dutifully followed her directions last Fall and we chuckled about how funny it would be if we actually got anything edible of them this year.

Boy, Howdy...did we ever!!

Doesn't that make your mouth water?

That's Sweet Center in the background, trying to figure out what the hell we were doing out amongst the bugs in the backyard:


This is 1 of 3 boxes full of peaches:


Hubba Hubba had quite a bit of fun pulling them down from the trees:


And Sir Toots loved going through them and he pulled out the "icky ones":


We may be City Folks, but we sure do know how to grow us some peaches!
