peaches on the island

one of the last things on our Summer List was picking peaches on Sauvie Island.  the conditions were not ideal.  it was hot and late in the season.  Jojo was a bit hard to manage, finding a way to get leaves off the trees and stuck in his throat.  but we picked 40 pounds of fruit to make into jam and freeze.  fruit that will be a part of our school lunch pb & j sandwiches, fruit that will be crisps and cobblers, fruit for smoothies that taste like a little bit of summer…all winter long.
