I picked my first basket of peaches last night. I am going to turn this into a pie and a cobbler. I didn't think I had many peaches so I was surprised when I was able to get this many peaches yesterday.
I made zucchini relish yesterday. I enjoy making this and I try to make it once a year. I only use it in tuna and on hot dogs, I need to learn to use it in other things.
I have had such fun making each one.
This morning Megan is coming over and bringing her spinning wheel so I will finish up my list of things I wanted to do this summer. It should be fun.
I hope that you have a nice Wednesday. I just thought I would let you know the battle with skunks continue.
The other night we had 3 in the front yard and two in the back. Last night we were out by the pool and I have a slide that is on the play house and water collects in the bottom. Last night we watched the skunk get a drink out of the water on the slide.
I don't know if we are getting used to them and they are to us, we just look at each other and say, " watch out there is a skunk out there" and go about our business.
I will try to remember to take pictures of learning to spin.
Have a great Wednesday,
~Kim~

the sunflowers on august's stitching are so you. :) have fun spinning!
Your relish and your peaches and your sunflowers are pretty! You certainly are patient with the skunks. I think I would have already used a gun!! :-)
The peaches look wonderful. Pie, cobbler, jam, oh boy!! Enjoy the spinning.
Kim..
Nice peach harvest! Do you make peach-pit jelly too?
It's a favorite at our house.
Sorry about the skunks!
Around here, we battle the racoons.
The house across the street (The Sheep House)
ended up with quite a few that got in and destroyed things.
Hope today is a good one :)

You know one of my favorite things about peaches? The way they smell. I just love to smell them! That relish looks divine! Isn't is funny how we just get used to some things---I just never thought one of those things would be close proximity to skunks. LOL
Yummy peach desserts! How lovely!
Please, please show us the spinning lesson!
Have a fun!
Christine
how I do love your relish !!!!!
Your zucchini relish looks tasty- and I love your little mini sunflowers- it will be a cute pillow when you are finished.
I put my relish in pasta salad a few weeks ago and it was super good. (I think I already told you that.)
So guess what happened when I got home? The stupid garage door wouldn't open when I pressed the button. The power was dead. I had to get everyone out and then go flip the breaker (everyone else had power). Then I got the garage door open, pulled the car in, and then it was dead again so I had to flip the breaker again. *sigh* I feel like the devil is right on my heels today.
Learning to spin, how exciting.
The skunks, not so exciting.
Your peaches look good, Kim, and a pie and a cobbler sound like wonderful ideas :) I just made some peach muffins with a little glob of cream cheese in the middle. They were yummy! I will try to blog about them soon. So you did not have a lot of peaches this year? I'm curious because we had a bumper crop . . .
I'm also curious about your relish. Is it hard to make? Have you posted a recipe before? That's something I hope to try this year. I have done dill pickles, but never relish.
Oh I love peaches! It's getting so hard to find homegrown TREE-RIPENED peaches in these parts ... they're picked so green and never quite get as sweet and juicy as the tree-ripened peaches do. :-(
I've never had zucchini relish.
I love this time of the year when we begin to put up the harvest for the up coming winter, Happy Harvesting. Hugs! Florence
your peaches are lovely!!!
oh peaches, my favorite..now I do need your vitmin B shot for your energy
