A Peach By Any Other Name Would Be Something Else
Thu Aug 09 2007

I picked a peach yesterday. I'll tell you why. During the day I collected four ruined ones that fell of their own accord. Two had been molested by creatures while still on the tree. Two I think fell off because they were squeezed off by their neighbors. BUT the main reason I plucked one was because as I stood looking up at them, a distinct scent of peach wafted into my nostrils. This was a new development. Plus some of the undertones on the peaches have turned from green to yellow. They are getting close to harvest time.

I chose this peach to pick because it was so huge and perfect and I would have been VERY put out if I had come out to find it mashed on the ground one fine morning.

So pluck I did.

Then the love affair began. It smells peachy. But it's too firm to be ripe. It came off with a few leaves still attached. It's as big as a softball. It's sheer peachy panache inspired me to take its portrait. So here you have it....

In the manner of Vermeer:

What a marvel of perfection it is, what what?


And now for a couple of details.


Those of you who THINK the ( ) who showed up in your comments yesterday is MY ( ), are, I am afraid, sadly mistaken. Those ( ) are YOUR ( ) and you will have to deal with them in your own way in your own time. I have enough trouble with my own ( ) thank you very much.

And in the matter of the flaming cupcake, I feel compelled to show that I was not making it up.... here's the link:

I wasn't kidding....

I'm going now. I have to go fondle admire my peaches.

Toodles.

    If that isn't perfection, then please tell me what is! Not even Harry & David can compare. I nominate that beauty as Peach of the Year.

    Not that you'd want to (cause then you couldn't see it), but putting above lovely peach in a brown paper sack with an apple or banana for a few hours or overnight should ripen it up so quickly it won't look so lovely for long. Just saying. ;o) And I don't mind () so much for me... I need somebody to keep me in line!

    What an amazing looking peach. About the other stuff; I have no idea what you're talking about. Oh well, suppose it doesn't apply then. ;-)

    I haven't been getting all you notifys so I accessed your link off of someone else's diary to see what I've missed. I'm glad I didn't miss the beautiful peach.
