Ok, I admit. I am a bit excited still over seeing actual food growing on our own property. It looks like this year we can expect another large crop of peaches if things continue this way. The pears and apples are also looking great and I've been getting a decent amount of asparagus every couple days. The grapes are looking good (let's just hope the birds don't discover them). The jury is out on the walnuts, raspberries, strawberries and cherries and we need to find a way to keep the darn skunk from stealing chicken eggs. We're still getting about 6 to 8 a day but that is down a bit from a few weeks ago. I still feel we are running low when we are down to only 4 dozen eggs in the fridge. Maybe in a couple years we'll actually get good at this growing/raising your own food thing.

Look! Peaches!
