An Ode

Oh peaches, you make my life complete.

That two weeks every summer when you are so perfect and juicy and sweet.

I eat more fruit during peach season than any other time of the year.

Peaches for breakfast, peaches baked into dessert, peaches for an afternoon snack.

This morning I gave the kid some peaches for breakfast and we sat down together to eat. She said “Yummy!”

Now comes the pain of motherhood – having to share.
