peaches

we met some friends at a local farm to pick peaches.

and we picked a lot of peaches.

i spent saturday canning peaches and making strawberry kiwi jam.
since i was canning alone, while mr. pike kept tabs on the kiddies, i only canned 5 jars of peaches.
it always feels like you've done a lot of work for not many jars.  but i have more peaches waiting on me.
and i think i'll go back to the farm next week and get some more.  even though it's a lot of work,
in december i'll be so happy to have yummy fresh peaches.

after picking peaches, we played with the animals.

we took a particular liking to this goat.  and i think she liked us.
